Context — Hezekiah Destroys Idolatry in Judah
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. 12This happened because they did not listen to the voice of the LORD their God, but violated His covenant—all that Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded—and would neither listen nor obey.Cross References

2 Kings 18:10 Summary
The city of Samaria was captured by the Assyrians after a three-year siege, which was a fulfillment of God's judgment on Israel for their disobedience, as warned in Deuteronomy 28:49-57. This event occurred during the sixth year of King Hezekiah's reign in Judah, highlighting the different paths that Judah and Israel were on, with Judah seeking to follow God and Israel rejecting Him, as seen in 2 Kings 18:3-7 and 2 Kings 17:7-23. This serves as a reminder to us to prioritize obedience to God's commands, as encouraged in Deuteronomy 28:1-14, and to trust in His sovereignty, even in difficult times, as stated in Psalm 103:8-14. By reflecting on this event, we can learn valuable lessons about the importance of faithfulness and the consequences of disobedience, and apply them to our own lives, as encouraged in 2 Chronicles 30:1-31:1.
