What does Hosea 10:14 mean?

So your cities will be destroyed, and your fortresses will be smashed—just like when Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel in battle, mothers and children were crushed together. Hosea 10:14 - Modern Text Bible

(Because of their choices, Israel’s defenses will fall. The reference to Beth-arbel is a reminder of a brutal defeat, showing how total and devastating the coming destruction will be.)
