The word of Yahweh that came to Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
"Word of Jehovah unto Hosea ..." It would be far better to translate through Hosea here, instead of unto Hosea.  Of course, scholars are divided on this; but, as Ward pointed out, "Through Hosea is the correct meaning of the preposition,"[3] thus making it clear that the word given in this prophecy is the Word of God, and not merely the word of Hosea.
