Exegesis
The final clause nilqəḏāh šōmrōn {נִלְכְּדָה שֹׁמְרוֹן | nilqəḏāh šōmrōn} ‘Samaria was captured’ utilizes the Nifal perfect for the passive result. Shifting to English SVO and dividing into two sentences clarifies temporal and narrative relationships.
Root and etymology
sh-m-r
“to keep, guard”
In context — 2 Kings 18:10
And they captured it at the end of three years. In the sixth year of Hezekiah , which was the ninth year of Hoshea , king of Israel, Samaria was captured.
