Israel —the ten tribes' kingdom ( Hosea 12:2 ) and Judah ( 2 Chronicles 19:8 ; 2 Chronicles 21:2 ; 2 Chronicles 21:4 ). remnant —the elect remnant, which shall survive the previous calamities of Judah, and from which the nation is to spring into new life ( Isaiah 6:13 ; Isaiah 10:20-22 ). as the sheep of Bozrah —a region famed for its rich pastures (compare Isaiah 10:20-23.10.22- : ).
