The name "Sepharvaim" is often associated with the region of Mesopotamia, though its exact location remains uncertain. It is referenced in several biblical passages, providing insight into its historical and theological significance.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/2_kings/17-24.htm">2 Kings 17:24</a></b> · "Then the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim and settled them in the towns of Samaria to replace the Israelites. They took over Samaria and lived in its towns." <br><br> In this passage, Sepharvaim is mentioned as one of the places from which the Assyrian king brought people to repopulate the cities of Samaria after the deportation of the Israelites. This was part of the Assyrian strategy to prevent rebellion by mixing populations and diluting national identities.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/2_kings/17-31.htm">2 Kings 17:31</a></b> · "The Sepharvites burned their children in the fire as sacrifices to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim." <br><br> Here, the religious practices of the Sepharvites are described, highlighting their worship of deities such as Adrammelech and Anammelech. The text notes their practice of child sacrifice, which was abhorrent to the Israelites and contrary to the worship of Yahweh.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/2_kings/18-34.htm">2 Kings 18:34</a></b> and <b>19:13</b> · These passages are part of the narrative concerning King Hezekiah of Judah and the Assyrian king Sennacherib. The Assyrian envoy Rabshakeh questions the power of the gods of various nations, including Sepharvaim, to deliver them from Assyrian conquest: "Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? Have they rescued Samaria from my hand?" (<a href="/2_kings/18-34.htm">2 Kings 18:34</a>). Similarly, in <a href="/2_kings/19-13.htm">2 Kings 19:13</a>, the rhetorical question is repeated to emphasize the futility of relying on these gods.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/isaiah/36-19.htm">Isaiah 36:19</a></b> and <b>37:13</b> · These verses parallel the account in 2 Kings, where the Assyrian challenge to the power of local deities, including those of Sepharvaim, is reiterated. The passages underscore the theme of Yahweh's supremacy over all gods and nations.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Context:</b><br><br>Sepharvaim's mention in the context of Assyrian resettlement policies reflects the broader historical backdrop of the Assyrian Empire's expansion and its impact on the ancient Near East. The Assyrians were known for their military prowess and administrative strategies, which included the relocation of conquered peoples to prevent uprisings and to integrate diverse cultures into their empire.<br><br>Theologically, the references to Sepharvaim and its gods serve to contrast the powerlessness of pagan deities with the sovereignty of the God of Israel. The biblical narrative consistently portrays Yahweh as the one true God, capable of delivering His people and executing His divine will, in contrast to the impotent gods of the nations.<br><br>Sepharvaim's inclusion in the biblical text also serves as a reminder of the consequences of idolatry and the importance of faithfulness to the covenant with Yahweh. The practices of the Sepharvites, particularly child sacrifice, are depicted as detestable and serve as a warning against adopting the religious customs of surrounding nations.<br><br>In summary, Sepharvaim is a significant location in the biblical narrative, representing both the historical realities of Assyrian dominance and the theological themes of divine sovereignty and the dangers of idolatry.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Sepharvaim</span><p>the two books; the two scribes<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Sepharvaim</span><p>(<i>the two Sipparas</i>) is mentioned by Sennacherib in his letter to Hezekiah as a city whose king had been unable to resist the Assyrians.

It was a double city, and received the common name Sepharvaim, i.e., "the two Sipparas," or "the two booktowns." The Sippara on the east bank of the Euphrates is now called Abu-Habba; that on the other bank was Accad, the old capital of Sargon I., where he established a great library. (see <a href="../s/sargon.htm">SARGON</a>.) The recent discovery of cuneiform inscriptions at Tel el-Amarna in Egypt, consisting of official despatches to Pharaoh Amenophis IV. and his predecessor from their agents in Palestine, proves that in the century before the Exodus an active literary intercourse was carried on between these nations, and that the medium of the correspondence was the Babylonian language and script.

Formerly Identified with the Two Babylonian Sippars:<br><br>This city, mentioned in <a href="/2_kings/17-24.htm">2 Kings 17:24</a>; <a href="/2_kings/18-34.htm">2 Kings 18:34</a>; <a href="/2_kings/19-13.htm">2 Kings 19:13</a> <a href="/isaiah/36-19.htm">Isaiah 36:19</a>; <a href="/isaiah/37-13.htm">Isaiah 37:13</a>, is generally identified with the Sip(p)ar of the Assyrians-Babylonian inscriptions (Zimbir in Sumerian), on the Euphrates, about 16 miles Southwest of Bagdad. It was one of the two great seats of the worship of the Babylonian sun-god Samas, and also of the goddesses Ishtar and Anunit, and seems to have had two principal districts, Sippar of Samas, and Sippar of Anunit, which, if the identification were correct, would account for the dual termination -ayim, in Hebrew. This site is the modern 'Abu-Habbah, which was first excavated by the late Hormuzd Rassam in 1881, and has furnished an enormous number of inscriptions, some of them of the highest importance.<br><br>2. Difficulties of That Identification:<br><br>Besides the fact that the deities of the two cities, Sippar and Sepharvaim, are not the same, it is to be noted that in <a href="/2_kings/19-13.htm">2 Kings 19:13</a> the king of Sepharvaim is referred to, and, as far as is known, the Babylonian Sippar never had a king of its own, nor had Akkad, with which it is in part identified, for at least 1,200 years before Sennacherib. The fact that Babylon and Cuthah head the list of cities mentioned is no indication that Sepharvaim was a Babylonian town-the composition of the list, indeed, points the other way, for the name comes after Ava and Hamath, implying that it lay in Syria.<br><br>3. Another Suggestion:<br><br>Joseph Halevy therefore suggests (ZA, II, 401;) that it should be identified with the Sibraim of <a href="/ezekiel/47-16.htm">Ezekiel 47:16</a>, between Damascus and Hamath (the dual implying a frontier town), and the same as the Sabara'in of the Babylonian Chronicle, there referred to as having been captured by Shalmaneser. As, however, Sabara'in may be read Samara'in, it is more likely to have been the Hebrew Shomeron (Samaria), as pointed out by Fried.
