The Assyrians, under King Sargon II, destroyed the city and exiled its inhabitants. Samaria's downfall was attributed to its idolatry and abandonment of the covenant with Yahweh. The reference to "idols" highlights the spiritual apostasy that led to its destruction. This serves as a warning to Judah, emphasizing that idolatry leads to divine judgment. The historical context underscores the Assyrian policy of deportation and resettlement, which aimed to prevent rebellion by mixing populations.<p><b>will I not also do to Jerusalem and her idols?”</b><br>Here, the speaker, representing Assyria, arrogantly assumes that Jerusalem will suffer the same fate as Samaria. This reflects the Assyrian belief in their invincibility and the power of their gods over the God of Israel. However, this statement is also prophetic, as it foreshadows the eventual Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem in 586 BC due to similar sins of idolatry and covenant unfaithfulness. The mention of "idols" in Jerusalem indicates that Judah, like Israel, had fallen into idolatry, despite the presence of the temple. This phrase serves as a call to repentance and a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God. Theologically, it points to the need for a faithful remnant and the ultimate hope of restoration through the Messiah, who would purify and restore true worship.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/assyria.htm">Assyria</a></b><br>A powerful empire used by God as an instrument of judgment against Israel and Judah.
