As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.
Hosea 10:7 belongs to a prophecy given near the end of the kingdom of Israel, when wickedness had reached an extreme. In that closing period Israel's kingship was unstable, with four of the last six kings falling by conspiracy and another falling with the kingdom itself. The verse declares that Samaria's king would be removed and would vanish as quickly and completely as foam upon water.
