Hosea 10:7

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

[As for] Samaria,.... The metropolis of the ten tribes of Israel, and here put for the whole kingdom:her king is cut off; which some understand of Pekah, who was killed by Hoshea; others of several of their kings cut off one after another, very suddenly and quickly, as the metaphor after used shows; or rather Hoshea the last king is meant, who was cut off by the king of Assyria; the present tense is used for the future, to denote the certainty of it.

Aben Ezra thinks the verb "cut off" is to be repeated, Samaria is "cut off, her king [is] cut off"; both king and kingdom destroyed.
