Verse 7

VER. 7.

As for Samaria her King is cut off, as the foam upon the water.

AS for Samaria her King is cut off, as the foam upon the waters.

Before God threatened that they should be ashamed of their counsels, and what that counsel was I told you. Ashamed of our counsel, we hope not, we shall maintain it, our King is for us, he will venture his life, his Kingdom, but he will maintain us in our way.

Your King (says the Prophet) he shall be as foam upon the water, even the King of Samaria.

Yes, but our King is in a strong town, in Samaria, a great city, and such a strong city as was able to hold siege for three years together; and yet the King of Samaria though he had gotten the chief city in the Kingdom to be fully for him, and so much victuals and strength as he could hold out for three years, yet (says the Lord) He shall be as the foam upon the waters.
