Exegesis
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘because’ introduces the perfect martah {מָרְתָה | mārᵊṯāh} ‘she rebelled’, marking a completed covenant breach.
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.
