The kingdom-empire of Assyria plays a major role in the histories of the nations in Isaiah's time. They conquered the surrounding areas, many times, and would often have local rebellions. They destroyed the kingdom of Israel, but setup vassal kings to rule locally. After deporting the local populace, settlers came into conquered Israel. They had difficulties, and so imported some of the original people, who culturally became the Samaritans. | The kingdom-empire of Assyria plays a major role in the histories of the nations in Isaiah's time.
