For the Lord God Almighty declares,“ I will stir up a nation against you, Israel, that will oppress you all the way from Lebo Hamath to the valley of the Arabah.”

But the Lord God rules over all. He announces,“ People of Israel, I will stir up a nation against you. They will crush you from Lebo Hamath all the way down to the Arabah Valley.”

“ For behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel,” declares the Lord, the God of hosts;“ and they shall oppress you from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of the Arabah.”

But look, I am raising up a nation against you, house of Israel— this is the declaration of the Lord, the GOD of Armies— and they will oppress you from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of the Arabah.

“ For behold, I am going to raise up a nation against you, House of Israel,” declares the Lord God of armies,“ And they will torment you from the entrance of Hamath To the brook of the Arabah.”

“ But, behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel,” Says the Lord God of hosts;“ And they will afflict you from the entrance of Hamath To the Valley of the Arabah.”

“ Look! I am about to bring a nation against you, family of Israel.” The LORD, the God who commands armies, is speaking.“ They will oppress you all the way from Lebo-Hamath to the Stream of the Arabah.”

Then Solomon and all Israel celebrated the Festival of Shelters in the presence of the Lord our God. A large congregation had gathered from as far away as Lebo hamath in the north and the Brook of Egypt in the south. The celebration went on for fourteen days in all— seven days for the dedication of the altar and seven days for the Festival of Shelters.

Jeroboam II recovered the territories of Israel between Lebo hamath and the Dead Sea, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had promised through Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath hepher.

O Israel, I will bring a distant nation against you,” says the Lord.“ It is a mighty nation, an ancient nation, a people whose language you do not know, whose speech you cannot understand.Their weapons are deadly; their warriors are mighty.They will devour the food of your harvest; they will devour your sons and daughters. They will devour your flocks and herds; they will devour your grapes and figs. And they will destroy your fortified towns, which you think are so safe.

For before this child is old enough to say‘ Papa’ or‘ Mama,’ the king of Assyria will carry away both the abundance of Damascus and the riches of Samaria.”Then the Lord spoke to me again and said,“ My care for the people of Judah is like the gently flowing waters of Shiloah, but they have rejected it. They are rejoicing over what will happen to King Rezin and King Pekah.Therefore, the Lord will overwhelm them with a mighty flood from the Euphrates River— the king of Assyria and all his glory. This flood will overflow all its channelsand sweep into Judah until it is chin deep. It will spread its wings, submerging your land from one end to the other, O Immanuel.

“ Your northern boundary will begin at the Mediterranean Sea and run east to Mount Hor,then to Lebo hamath, and on through Zedad

During Pekah’s reign, King Tiglath pileser of Assyria attacked Israel again, and he captured the towns of Ijon, Abel beth maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, and Hazor. He also conquered the regions of Gilead, Galilee, and all of Naphtali, and he took the people to Assyria as captives.

“ These are the boundaries of the land: The northern border will run from the Mediterranean toward Hethlon, then on through Lebo hamath to Zedad;then it will run to Berothah and Sibraim, which are on the border between Damascus and Hamath, and finally to Hazer hatticon, on the border of Hauran.So the northern border will run from the Mediterranean to Hazar enan, on the border between Hamath to the north and Damascus to the south.

In that day the Lord will hire a“ razor” from beyond the Euphrates River— the king of Assyria— and use it to shave off everything: your land, your crops, and your people.

The people of Samaria tremble in fear for their calf idol at Beth aven, and they mourn for it. Though its priests rejoice over it, its glory will be stripped away.

“ What sorrow awaits Assyria, the rod of my anger. I use it as a club to express my anger.I am sending Assyria against a godless nation, against a people with whom I am angry. Assyria will plunder them, trampling them like dirt beneath its feet.

Finally, in the ninth year of King Hoshea’s reign, Samaria fell, and the people of Israel were exiled to Assyria. They were settled in colonies in Halah, along the banks of the Habor River in Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
