The Old Testament book of Hosea tells us Hosea married Gomer and had three
children - a son named Jezreel, a daughter named Loruhama, and another son,
Loammi.
"...And the Lord said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I
will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease
the kingdom of the house of Israel."
"...And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call
her name Lo-ruhamah; for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but
I will utterly take them away."
"...Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived and bare a son. Then
said God, Call his name Lo-ammi; for ye are not my people, and I will not be your
God."
