Hosea 10:7 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

As for Samaria, after three years siege she shall be cut off. Her king is cut off; for all the rest of the kingdom was lost, and now he is pent up there also; he that was once the confidence of the ten tribes, and king of a mighty people, is now spoiled of all but one only city, where he is rather a prisoner than a king, kept close till made a captive. Is cut off; shortly will be cut off; it is not unlikely this prophecy should be delivered when Samaria was besieged. As the foam upon the water; as a contemptible, weak, and light thing: it is a proverb, and foretells how contemptibly the Assyrians should use them.

Hosea 10:7

7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.c
