📚 Historical Context
This verse describes the fall of the Northern Kingdom of Israel in 722 BC when the Assyrians conquered and exiled the ten northern tribes. This catastrophic event was the culmination of centuries of Israel's worship of false gods and rejection of God's warnings through the prophets. The Southern Kingdom of Judah survived this conquest and continued for another 136 years before their own exile to Babylon.
