“As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.”
The statement that Samaria and its king shall float away like foam on the water suggests the instability and insubstantiality of Israel's political structures, that whatever seems solid and stable will prove utterly fragile. The image of foam indicates something that appears to have substance but proves weightless and insubstantial. This verse emphasizes the illusory nature of Israel's political achievements and security.
