Assyrian Captivity of Israel

After the defeat of the northern kingdom of Israel by the ancient Assyrians and the fall of Israel's capital of Samaria, an unknown number of the population of Israel was subsequently de-ported by the Assyrians into their own empire in Mesopotamia, according to standard practices of the subjugation of conquered peoples by the ancient Assyrian Empire at the time. The Israelites were dispersed and assimilated into the empire, beginning the historic diaspora of Israel, forming the basis of the story about the "Ten Lost Tribes of Israel", and the subsequent "replacement theology" of most of the organized Christian churches. The Assyrians then reportedly re-populated the territory of the northern kingdom of Israel with mixed peoples from within different parts of their own empire, who adopted some of the religious beliefs and culture of the Israelites who had remained there or who subsequently returned; but mixed them with their own cultures and pagan religious beliefs, and inter-married with the Israelites. Their descendants became known as the "Samaritans", probably named after the former capital city of Samaria, and spoke Aramaic, the language that probably remained dominant until the time of Jesus of Nazareth, when the region, controlled by the pagan Romans, became known as the Galilee. Jesus recruited most of His disciples and performed most of His miraculous ministry there, and was confronted by the religious leaders of the Pharisees, who once called Jesus a "Samaritan", although He was a Jewish rabbi. ```` Jump to: navigation, search The Kingdom of Israel (Hebrew: מַלְכוּת יִשְׂרָאֵל, Standard Hebrew Malḫut Yisraʼel, Tiberian Hebrew Malḵûṯ YiÅ›rāʼēl) was the Kingdom proclaimed by the Israelite nation around 1050 BCE.
