Exegesis
The direct object marker ʾet {אֶת־ | ʾet} explicitly marks šōmrōn {שֹׁמְר֖וֹן | šōmrōn} ‘Samaria’ as the object, and the idiom miyyāḏî {מִיָּדִֽי | miyyāḏî} ‘from my hand’ expresses possession or power. Overall, the rhetorical structure uses repeated questions and construct parallelism to mock the effectiveness of foreign deities.
