Commentary for Hosea 9:9

הֶעְמִֽיקוּ־שִׁחֵ֖תוּ כִּימֵ֣י הַגִּבְעָ֑ה יִזְכּ֣וֹר עֲוֺנָ֔ם יִפְק֖וֹד חַטֹּאותָֽם׃ (ס)

They have deeply corrupted themselves, As in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their iniquity, He will punish their sins.

Rashi on Hosea

as in the days of Gibeah Some say that this is Gibeah of Benjamin in the case of the concubine (Jud. 19), and some say that this is Gibeah of Saul, where they asked for a king and rebelled against the words of the prophet (I Sam. 15).
