Matty-kun (npub13v6…hy07) The first image is of the Assyrian empire. The part I outlined poorly with black pen is the Assyrian empire shortly after they first defeated the kingdom of Samaria (northern tribes). The second image is the nation of Urartu that existed north of Assyria in modern day Armenia/Turkey. And this is where our story begins.
These are verses which tell of the Assyria deportation of the Samaritans.
>2Ki_17:6 In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
>2Ki_18:11 And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:
>1Ch_5:26 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.
>2Ki_10:33 From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
>2Ki_15:29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria.
This is a quote from Tiglath Pileser 3 (King of Assyria during the conquest of Samaria and the deportation of Israelites) from a tablet found in Nineva
>“The cities of Gilead and Abel-beth-maacahon the borders of the land of Khumri, and the widespread land of Hazael to its whole extent, I brought within the territory of Assyria.”
The tablet confirms the historicity of the Biblical verses.
On the map I circled Gozan, Harbor, and over by where the Medes were at the time. The Median empire eventually stretch across all of what was Assyria and into Asia Minor.
The forth map shows Assyria and the surrounding nations.
There is an artifact calls The Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser III. On it is an inscription which reads
>“The tribute of Jehu (Iaua) son of Khumri (Omri): I received from him silver, gold, a golden bowl, a golden vase with pointed bottom, golden tumblers, golden buckets, tin, a staff for a king,(and) purukhti fruits.”
Jehu was the king of Samaria when Assyria defeated them. Samaria was known as the Bit Khmuri to the Assyrians.
