2 Kings 15:29
29In the days of Pekah king of Israel, aTiglath-pileser king of Assyria came and captured bIjon, cAbel-beth-maacah, Janoah, dKedesh, eHazor, Gilead, and fGalilee, all the land of Naphtali, and he carried the people captive to Assyria.2 Kings 16:9
9 gAnd the king of Assyria listened to him. The king of Assyria marched up against Damascus hand took it, carrying its people captive to iKir, and he killed Rezin.Isaiah 8:4-7
4 jfor before the boy knows how to cry ‘My father’ or ‘My mother,’ the kwealth of lDamascus and the spoil of mSamaria will be carried away before the king of Assyria.”5The Lord spoke to me again: 6“Because this people has refused the waters of nShiloah that flow gently, and rejoice over oRezin and the son of Remaliah, 7therefore, behold, the Lord is bringing up against them pthe waters of qthe River, mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory. And it rwill rise over all its channels and go over all its banks,
Isaiah 10:9-11
9 sIs not tCalno like uCarchemish?Is not vHamath like wArpad?
xIs not ySamaria like Damascus?
10As my hand has reached to zthe kingdoms of the idols,
whose carved images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11shall I not do to Jerusalem and aaher idols
abas I have done to Samaria and her images?”
Isaiah 17:1-5
An Oracle Concerning Damascus
1An acoracle concerning adDamascus.Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city
and will become a heap of ruins.
2The cities of aeAroer are deserted;
they will be for flocks,
which will lie down, and afnone will make them afraid.
3The fortress will disappear from agEphraim,
and the kingdom from ahDamascus;
and the remnant of Syria will be
like aithe glory of the children of Israel,
declares the Lord of hosts.
4 And in that day ajthe glory of Jacob will be brought low,
and akthe fat of his flesh will grow lean.
5And it shall be alas when the reaper gathers standing grain
and his arm harvests the ears,
and as when one gleans the ears of grain
in amthe Valley of Rephaim.
