as they journey to find rest for themselves.

Footnotes

  1. 3 Heb “who survived the sword.” This refers to the remnant of northern Israel who had not been killed when Assyria conquered Israel in 722 b.c. or who had not died in exile. References to Samaria in v. 5 and to Ephraim in vv. 6, 9 make clear that northern Israel is in view here.
