Exegesis
The phrases kav Shomron {קָו שֹׁמְרוֹן | qāw šom-ron} ‘line of Samaria’ and mishkolet beit Aḥ’āv {מִשְׁקֹלֶת בֵּית אַחְאָב | miš-qō-leṯ bēṯ ʾaḥ-ʾāv} ‘plumb line of Ahab’s house’ create a tight parallel structure highlighting consistent standards of judgment.
In context — 2 Kings 21:13
And I will extend the measuring line of Samaria and the plumb line of the house of Ahab over Jerusalem; and I will wipe Jerusalem like one wipes a dish , wiping it out and turning it upside down.
