Verse Explanation
In the ninth year of Hoshea's reign, the king of Assyria captures Samaria and carries the Israelites away to Assyria. The exiles are settled in places including Halah, along the Habor River in Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. The northern kingdom effectively ceases to exist as an independent nation.
History
Approx. 722 BC. The fall of Samaria marks the end of the northern kingdom of Israel. Assyria deported significant portions of the population and resettled them elsewhere in the empire.
