The 10 Tribe Kingdom of Israel (Samaria) Lasted 257 Years (1 gen 997 anni a. C. – 1 gen 740 anni a. C.)

Descrizione:

The city of Samaria was not only one of great beauty, located on top of a bold headland some 2,848 feet high, but also a mighty fortress. It was besieged several times without being captured. But in 740 B.C. Samaria fell, after a three-year siege by the king of Assyria, and the kingdom of the ten tribes was destroyed. The city of Samaria was demolished, and all the prominent people of the land, the heads of families, the priests and prophets, were exiled from their homeland. Thus the ten tribes that had separated from the house of David were brought to complete desolation, never again to assume strength or prominence. Possibly poor people of the land were left behind, according to the custom of the conquerors at that time.—2 Ki. 25:12.
