  1. 1 Kings 20:10 Lit are at my feet

For it says, “Are not my princes [a]all kings?
“Is not (A)Calno like (B)Carchemish,
Or (C)Hamath like Arpad,
Or (D)Samaria like (E)Damascus?

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 [c]punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and (I)the pomp of [d]his haughtiness.”
