[Dedicated to the One and Only God from whom all blessings flow]. In the reign of Hoshea, the Neo-Assyrian king Shalmaneser V began the invasion of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. The conquest was completed by Sargon II who sent the Israelites into exile in parts of the Assyrian empire. Unlike the initial invasion and deportations of Tiglath-Pileser (Pul) III, this event marked the end of Israel as a nation. The exiled Israelites became known as the Ten Lost Tribes. But were they truly lost? This volume has some interesting answers.
