And thou didst bow thyself to women: and by thy body thou wast brought under subjection.
Your empire became divided, and a rival kingdom sprang up out of Ephraim.
But you bent your thigh to women, and you were held by the power of your body.
It divided the nation, and a rival kingdom arose in northern Israel.
because the sovereignty was divided, and a disobedient kingdom ruled out of Ephraim.
because the northern kingdom broke away, dividing Israel.
