  1. 1 Kings 20:10 I.e., what is left of Samaria after it is destroyed
  2. 1 Kings 20:10 Lit are at my feet

For it says, “Are not my officers [a]all kings?
Is not (A)Calno like (B)Carchemish,
Or (C)Hamath like Arpad,
Or (D)Samaria like (E)Damascus?
10 As my hand has reached to the (F)kingdoms of the idols,
Whose carved images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 Shall I not do the same to Jerusalem and her images
Just as I have done to Samaria and (G)her idols?”

12 So it will be that when the Lord has completed all His (H)work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, He will say, “I will [b]punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and (I)the arrogant pride of his eyes.”
