Exegesis
The verse opens with the Qal imperfect verb te’ashem {תְּאָשֵׁם | tə·’ā·šēm} ‘she shall be guilty’, which predicates a future state of blame on Samaria {שֹׁמְרוֹן | šōmᵊrōn} as the feminine singular subject.
In context — Hosea 13:16
Samaria shall bear her guilt because she has rebelled against her God ; by the sword they shall fall, their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women shall be ripped open.
