Sargon II, King of Assyria, Captures Samaria
In 720 BCE, Sargon II, King of Assyria that ruled from 722-705 BCE, captured Samaria, the region of the 10 Northern Tribes of Israel. He took many Israelites to Nimrud (Iraq) as slaves, while other Israelite refugees fled to Jerusalem.
He recorded this conquest in his annals on the Nimrud Prism, which reads:“I besieged and conquered Samaria, led away as booty 27,290 inhabitants of it.”
The Bible confirms this account in 2 Kings 17:6:In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria captured Samaria. He deported the Israelites to Assyria.
