Hosea, the 19th king, was the last king of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. In his reign, [[Hezekiah]], the thirteenth king of Southern Kingdom of Judah, sent messengers to the Northern Kingdom of Israel to celebrate the [[Passover]], which had not been celebrated for a long time. The northern Israelites mocked and ridiculed the messengers and did not keep the Passover.
