as a gift to ·the great king [or King Jareb; C this may be a title or a personal name].

and ·the people [L Israel] will be ashamed for ·not obeying [or its counsel; or its wooden idol].
7 ·Israel [L Samaria; v. 5] will be destroyed;

the places where Israel sins.
Thorns and ·weeds [thistles] will grow up

Then they will say to the mountains, “Cover us!”
and to the hills, “Fall on us! [Luke 23:30; Rev. 6:16]”
