Hezekiah Destroys Idolatry in Judah

⁹In the fourth year of Hezekiah’s reign, which was the seventh year of the reign of Hoshea son of Elah over Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria marched against Samaria and besieged it. ¹⁰And at the end of three years, the Assyrians captured it. So Samaria was captured in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel.¹¹The king of Assyria exiled the Israelites to Assyria and settled them in Halah, in Gozan by the Habor River, and in the cities of the Medes.

Summary

This verse recounts the fall of Samaria, the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel, to the Assyrian king Shalmaneser V. It marks a significant event in Israel's history, leading to the exile of the Israelites due to their disobedience to God. The capture of Samaria serves as a warning of the consequences of turning away from God and breaking the covenant. It highlights the importance of faithfulness and obedience to God's commands to avoid His judgment.

John Gill Bible Commentary

Because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord,.... In his law, and by his prophets: but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded; which evils are at large insisted on in the preceding chapter as the cause of their captivity: and would not hear them, nor do them; contrary to the agreement of their fathers at Sinai, who promised to do both, Exo 24:3.
