9 At that the king of As·syrʹi·a listened to him and the king of As·syrʹi·a went up to Damascus+ and captured it+ and led its [people] into exile at Kir,+ and Reʹzin+ he put to death.

6 In the ninth year of Ho·sheʹa, the king of As·syrʹi·a captured Sa·marʹi·a+ and then led Israel into exile+ in As·syrʹi·a and kept them dwelling in Haʹlah+ and in Haʹbor at the river Goʹzan+ and in the cities of the Medes.+

24 Subsequently the king of As·syrʹi·a brought people from Babylon*+ and Cuʹthah and Avʹva+ and Haʹmath+ and Seph·ar·vaʹim+ and had them dwell in the cities of Sa·marʹi·a+ instead of the sons of Israel; and they began to take possession of Sa·marʹi·a and to dwell in its cities.
