2. Arpad was a city in northern Syria whose king participated in the rebellion against Assyria andwas crushed by Tiglath-pileser III in 720 B.C.The exact names of their deities are uncertain.} “the gods of Sepharvaim” It may have been a city of northern Babylon. This was a location fromwhich Sargon II (722-705 B.C.) sent exiles to settle in Samaria (cf. II Kgs. 17:24). Some scholars assumeit refers to Samaria (the captured capital of Israel, 722 B.C.).From II Kgs. 17:31 we know that the fertility gods they worshiped by child sacrifice were“Adrammelech” and “Anammelech.” The first name is also the name of one of Sennacherib’s sons whoassassinated him (cf. 37:38). How they are connected is uncertain.} “have they delivered Samaria from my hand” This is interesting because Samaria’s gods are listedseparately from Judah’s. They both worshiped YHWH, but apparently the idolatry in the north hadbecome so bad or the Assyrian information so poor that they did not realize that they both worshipedYHWH (cf. II Kgs. 17:5,6,24).NASB (UPDATED) TEXT: 36:21-2221But they were silent and answered him not a word; for the king's commandment was, "Donot answer him." 22 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna thescribe and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn and toldhim the words of Rabshakeh.36:22 “with their clothes torn” See Special Topic: Grieving rites at 15:1.351
