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."
