Isaiah 10:9

ArpadCalnoCarchemishDamascusHamathSamaria
Judgment

7 But this is not his intention; this is not his plan. For it is in his heart to destroy and cut off many nations.

8 “Are not all my commanders kings?” he says.

“Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?

10 As my hand seized the idolatrous kingdoms whose images surpassed those of Jerusalem and Samaria,

11 and as I have done to Samaria and its idols, will I not also do to Jerusalem and her idols?”

Read the whole chapter

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
