Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Ezek 16:51

“And Samaria committed not half thy sins: but thou hast surpassed them with thy crimes, and hast justified thy sisters by all thy abominations which thou hast done.”

“Samaria--the kingdom of the ten tribes of Israel less guilty than Judah; for Judah betrayed greater ingratitude, having greater privileges, namely, the temple, the priesthood, and the regular order of kings. justified thy sisters--made them appear almost innocent by comparison with thy guilt (Jer 3:11; Mat 12:41-42).”
