Exegesis
The relative marker asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} introduces a relative clause tied to the earlier leaders, grounding the accusation in Israel’s own prior demand: amarta {אָמַרְתָּ | ʾā-mar-tā} ‘you said’, followed by the direct-speech request tena-li {תְּנָה־לִּי | tə-nāh-lî} ‘give to me’ and the objects melekh {מֶלֶךְ | me-leḵ} ‘a king’ and vesarim {וְשָׂרִים | wə-sā-rîm} ‘and princes’. The overall discourse movement is rhetorical: an implied indictment that what Israel requested cannot supply what Israel needs—salvation.
In context — Hosea 13:10
Where now is your king , that he may save you in all your cities? And where are your judges , of whom you said, “Give to me a king and princes”?
