Isaiah 36:19
Hamath . . . Arphad—(See on Isaiah 10:9).
Sepharvaim—literally, "the two scribes"; now Sipphara, on the east of Euphrates, above Babylon. It was a just retribution (Proverbs 1:31; Jeremiah 2:19). Israel worshipped the gods of Sepharvaim, and so colonists of Sepharvaim were planted in the land of Israel (thenceforth called Samaria) by the Assyrian conqueror (II Kings 17:24; compare II Kings 18:34).
Samaria—Shalmaneser began the siege against Hoshea, because of his conspiring with So of Egypt (II Kings 17:4). Sargon finished it; and, in his palace at Khorsabad, he has mentioned the number of Israelites carried captive—27,280 [G. V. SMITH].
