‘Each of my princes will soon be a king.
9 We destroyed Calno just as we did Carchemish.
Hamath fell before us as Arpad did.
And we destroyed Samaria just as we did Damascus.
10 Yes, we have finished off many a kingdom
whose gods were greater than those in Jerusalem and Samaria.

just as we destroyed Samaria with hers.’”

I have broken down the defenses of nations
and carried off their treasures.
I have knocked down their kings like a bull.
