Healing a Historic Family Feud
Commentators explain that this verse directly addresses the centuries-long, bitter rivalry between the northern kingdom of Israel (Ephraim) and the southern kingdom (Judah). This internal conflict, rooted in envy and ambition, is promised to be healed under the Messiah. This prophecy paints a powerful picture of reconciliation and restored unity for God's people, ending the painful 'family broil' that had weakened them for so long.
