⁸^*He boasts, “Every one of my commanders is a king! ⁹^*I conquered the cities of Calno and Carchemish, the cities of Hamath and Arpad. I conquered Samaria and Damascus. ¹⁰^*I stretched out my hand to punish those kingdoms that worship idols, idols more numerous than those of Jerusalem and Samaria. ¹¹^*I have destroyed Samaria and all its idols, and I will do the same to Jerusalem and the images that are worshipped there.”
