13:16 In 722 BC, Assyria captured Samaria, the capital of the northern kingdom (2 Kgs 17:5-6). Thousands died during the three-year siege, and thousands more were sent into exile. This was because they rebelled against their God. • The horrible practice of killing pregnant women is also mentioned in Amos 1:13 and 2 Kgs 15:16.
