Sarah wife of Abraham. Fairy Tale of Real History by Gerard Gertoux

Then Hoshea the son of Elah formed a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and he struck him and put him to death; and he became king in his place in the 20th year of Jotham (in 738 BCE) the son of Uzziah (2Ki 15:30). Now in the days of Ahaz son of Jotham son of Uzziah, the king of Judah, King Rezin of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah, the king of Israel, came up to wage war against Jerusalem, but he could not capture it (...) This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: It will not succeed, nor will it take place. For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within just 65 years Ephraim will be completely shattered and cease to be a people. The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah (Is 7:1,7-9). Given that the head of Samaria (Ephraim/Israel) was Pekah who died in 738 BCE, the shattering of Ephraim (inhabitants of Samaria) must have occurred in 673 (= 738 - 65).

Sargon II destroyed Samaria the capital of Israel in 720 BCE but the shattering of Israel occurred later when Assyrian kings took into exile some nations and settled them in the cities of Samaria: they immediately approached Zerubbabel and the heads of the paternal houses and said to them (in 537 BCE): Let us build along with you; for like you, we worship your God and we have been sacrificing to him since the days of King Esarhaddon of Assyria, who brought us here (...) and the rest of the nations that the great and honourable Asenappar (Aššurbanipal) took into exile and settled in the cities of Samaria, and the rest in the region Beyond the River (Ezr 4:2,10). In addition, regarding King Manasseh: So Jehovah brought against them the (two) army chiefs of the king of Assyria, and they captured Manasseh with hooks and bound him with two copper fetters and took him to Babylon. In his distress, he begged Jehovah his God for favour and kept humbling himself greatly before the God of his forefathers. He kept praying to Him, and He was moved by his entreaty and heard his request for favour, and He restored him to Jerusalem to his kingship. Then Manasseh came to know that Jehovah is the true God (2Ch 33:11). The harmonizing of all the information is consistent: two Assyrian kings, Esarhaddon (681-669) and Aššurbanipal, came in 673 BCE to take into exile some foreigners to settle them in the cities of Samaria and they also brought back King Manasseh to put him in jail but they released him rapidly. This version of events is partly confirmed by the annals of Esarhaddon and Aššurbanipal. In addition the Prism B of Esarhaddon7 is dated the eponym Atarilu, in 673 BCE, which corresponds exactly to the biblical dating.
