The Ten Tribes (especially Joseph) will be Warrior Nations
(Adapted from "Origin. Lost Ten Tribes in the West According to the Prophets and History," by Yair Davidiy, 2nd edition, Israel, 2021).
The Ten Trbies and "Gomer."
The 10 Tribes were exiled by Assyria. They were taken to places where the federated with another group of peoples identified in the Bible with Gomer son of Japhet. The federated entities are known to history as the Cimmerians, and Scythians, and Goths. The Prophet Hosea was commanded to take an immoral woman named “Gomer” to wife. He does this and begats three children. In continuation it is evident that these represents three divisions of the Lost Ten Tribes who had federated with Gomer. Possibly the first to note this possibility was the German-Jewish academic researcher, Felix Ernst Peiser, 1862-1921.
The three sons of Gomer (i.e. Cimmerians) in Hosea represent three sections of the exiled 10 Tribes and do not represent Judah who is separately spoken of and explicitly excluded from the "Gomer" equation (1:7). The Ten Tribes Identification with Gomer was confirmed by a Leading Rabbinical Sage! Rabbi Yisrael Alter (“Beis Yisroel”), 1895 - 1977, a Chief Rabbi of Hasidut “Gur,” wrote that the Children of Israel, were known as Gomer and in the plural as "Gomrim" (i.e. Gomerites). This, he says, especially applies in association with Joseph, i.e. the Ten Tribes, and the Future Redemption of all Israel (Breishit, Parshat VeYechi, 5710 ca. 1950-51, Genesis 47:28). See:
"Gomer and Israel. The Ten Tribes were to intermix with Gomer meaning certain European Peoples."

Hosea (ERV) 1:
7 BUT I WILL HAVE MERCY UPON THE HOUSE OF JUDAH, AND WILL SAVE THEM BY THE LORD THEIR GOD, AND WILL NOT SAVE THEM BY BOW, NOR BY SWORD, NOR BY BATTLE, BY HORSES, NOR BY HORSEMEN.
Judah (unlike the Ten Tribes) was to be scattered among the Gentiles. Judah would be preserved by virtue of his Religion. Judah (until his return to the Land) would not become great through military activity whereas the Ten Tribes would. It was predicted that the Lost Ten Tribes, especially Joseph, would become formidable Military powers at the International level:
(Numbers 24:7-9 Micah 5:7-9, Deuteronomy 33:27 33:29 Jeremiah 51:20-21, Zechariah 10:7, Ezekiel 25:14, Obadiah 1:18).
Genesis 48:
19 BUT HIS FATHER REFUSED AND SAID, I KNOW, MY SON, I KNOW. HE ALSO SHALL BECOME A PEOPLE, AND HE ALSO SHALL BE GREAT; BUT TRULY HIS YOUNGER BROTHER SHALL BE GREATER THAN HE, AND HIS DESCENDANTS SHALL BECOME A MULTITUDE OF NATIONS.
# SHALL BECOME A MULTITUDE OF NATIONS #:
In Hebrew "malo hagoim" or literally “the fullness of nations” i.e. Complete the Peoples or ensure their existence. Onkelos translates this as saying that his seed will rule over the nations.
cf. Psalms 47:
3 HE WILL SUBDUE THE PEOPLES UNDER US,
AND THE NATIONS UNDER OUR FEET.
4 HE WILL CHOOSE OUR INHERITANCE FOR US,
THE EXCELLENCE OF JACOB WHOM HE LOVES. SELAH
Numbers 24:
7 HE SHALL POUR WATER FROM HIS BUCKETS,
AND HIS SEED SHALL BE IN MANY WATERS.
HIS KING SHALL BE HIGHER THAN AGAG,
AND HIS KINGDOM SHALL BE EXALTED.
8 GOD BRINGS HIM OUT OF EGYPT;
HE HAS STRENGTH LIKE A WILD OX [HEBREW: RAEM I.E. UNICORN];
HE SHALL CONSUME THE NATIONS, HIS ENEMIES;
HE SHALL BREAK THEIR BONES
AND PIERCE THEM WITH HIS ARROWS.
9 HE BOWS DOWN, HE LIES DOWN AS A LION;
AND AS A LION, WHO SHALL ROUSE HIM?
BLESSED IS HE WHO BLESSES YOU,
AND CURSED IS HE WHO CURSES YOU.
Micah 5:
8 AND THE REMNANT OF JACOB
SHALL BE AMONG THE GENTILES,
IN THE MIDST OF MANY PEOPLES,
LIKE A LION AMONG THE BEASTS OF THE FOREST,
LIKE A YOUNG LION AMONG FLOCKS OF SHEEP,
WHO, IF HE PASSES THROUGH,
BOTH TREADS DOWN AND TEARS IN PIECES.
Deuteronomy 33
27 THE ETERNAL GOD IS YOUR REFUGE,
AND UNDERNEATH ARE THE EVERLASTING ARMS;
HE WILL THRUST OUT THE ENEMY FROM BEFORE YOU,
AND WILL SAY, DESTROY! .
29 HAPPY ARE YOU, O ISRAEL!
WHO IS LIKE YOU, A PEOPLE SAVED BY THE LORD,
THE SHIELD OF YOUR HELP
AND THE SWORD OF YOUR MAJESTY!
YOUR ENEMIES SHALL SUBMIT TO YOU,
AND YOU SHALL TREAD DOWN THEIR HIGH PLACES.
Jeremiah 51:
20 YOU ARE MY BATTLE-AX AND WEAPONS OF WAR:
FOR WITH YOU I WILL BREAK THE NATION IN PIECES;
WITH YOU I WILL DESTROY KINGDOMS;
21 WITH YOU I WILL BREAK IN PIECES THE HORSE AND ITS RIDER;
WITH YOU I WILL BREAK IN PIECES THE CHARIOT AND ITS RIDER.
Zechariah 10:
7 THOSE OF EPHRAIM SHALL BE LIKE A MIGHTY MAN,
AND THEIR HEART SHALL REJOICE AS IF WITH WINE.
YES, THEIR CHILDREN SHALL SEE IT AND BE GLAD;
THEIR HEART SHALL REJOICE IN THE LORD.
Ezekiel 25:
14 I WILL LAY MY VENGEANCE ON EDOM BY THE HAND OF MY PEOPLE ISRAEL, THAT THEY MAY DO IN EDOM ACCORDING TO MY ANGER AND ACCORDING TO MY FURY; AND THEY SHALL KNOW MY VENGEANCE, SAYS THE LORD GOD.
Obadiah (KJB) 1:
18 AND THE HOUSE OF JACOB SHALL BE A FIRE, AND THE HOUSE OF JOSEPH A FLAME, AND THE HOUSE OF ESAU FOR STUBBLE, AND THEY SHALL KINDLE IN THEM, AND DEVOUR THEM; AND THERE SHALL NOT BE ANY REMAINING OF THE HOUSE OF ESAU; FOR THE LORD HATH SPOKEN IT.
We see from the above that the Ten Tribes will have become great military entities. Judah, i.e. the Jews, will be not be so renowned for most of their history. Just the opposite. Judah will not be known for its military prowess, on the contrary, until they return to the Land when matters will change. Nevertheless, Judah will have remained faithful:
cf.
HOSEA (ERV) 11:
12 EPHRAIM COMPASSETH ME ABOUT WITH FALSEHOOD, AND THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL WITH DECEIT: BUT JUDAH YET RULETH WITH GOD, AND IS FAITHFUL WITH THE HOLY ONE.
