A Picture of Total Destruction
The imagery of making Samaria a "heap of the field," pouring its stones into the valley, and uncovering its foundations points to a judgment of complete and utter annihilation. Commentators explain this isn't just a military defeat but a total erasure of the city, turning it back into agricultural land. This serves as a stark illustration of the finality of God's judgment against persistent, unrepentant sin.
