the gods:
"Where¹ [is] the kingª of Hamath,ª and the kingª of Arpad,ª and the kingª of the cityª of Sepharvaim,ª of Hena,ª and Ivah?ª" {2Kg 19:13} + "So they went up,ª ° and searchedª °¹ the landª from the wildernessª ¹ of Zinª unto¹ Rehob,ª as men comeª ° to Hamath.ª" {Num 13:21} + "When Toiª kingª of Hamathª heardª ° that¹ Davidª had smittenª °¹ all¹ the hostª of Hadadezer,ª" {2Sm 8:9} + "Concerning Damascus.ª Hamathª is confounded,ª ° and Arpad:ª for¹ they have heardª ° evilª tidings:ª they are fainthearted;ª ° [there is] sorrowª on the sea;ª it cannotª °¹ be quiet.ª °" {Jer 49:23}

Hamath:
Hamath, there is little doubt, was the Epiphania of the Greeks, as Josephus, Theodoret, and Jerome, expressly assert. It was a celebrated city of Syria, situated on the Orontes, and the present Hamah doubtless occupies its site; as Abulfeda, who was prince or emir of Hamah about ad 1345, expressly states, in his Description of Syria, that Hamah is an ancient city mentioned in the writings of the Israelites. It is still a considerable town, situated on both sides of the Orontes, about three days' journey and a half from Tripoli; and must contain, Burckhardt says, at least 30,000 inhabitants.

Arpad:
Arpad is probably the town of Arphas, mentioned by Josephus as limiting the province of Gamalitis, Gaulanitis, Batanea, and Trachonitis, to the ne; and the Raphan, or Raphanea, which Stephanus places near Epiphania.

the gods:
"And the kingª of Assyriaª broughtª ° [men] from Babylon,ª ¹ and from Cuthah,ª ¹ and from Ava,ª ¹ and from Hamath,ª ¹ and from Sepharvaim,ª and placedª ° [them] in the citiesª of Samariaª instead¹ of the childrenª of Israel:ª and they possessedª °¹ Samaria,ª and dweltª ° in the citiesª thereof. ... They feared² ¹ ¹ ¹ the LORD,ª and servedª °¹ their own gods,ª after the mannerª of the nationsª whom¹ ¹ they carried awayª ° from thence.¹ ¹" {2Kg 17:24-33}, Ava, "[Beware] lest¹ Hezekiahª persuadeª ° you, saying,ª ° The LORDª will deliverª ° us. Hath anyª of the godsª of the nationsª deliveredª °¹ his landª out of the handª ¹ of the kingª of Assyria?ª ... Where¹ [are] the godsª of Hamathª and Arphad?ª where¹ [are] the godsª of Sepharvaim?ª and¹ have they deliveredª °¹ Samariaª out of my hand?ª ¹" {Isa 36:18-19} + "Behold,¹ thou¹ hast heardª ° what¹ the kingsª of Assyriaª have doneª ° to all¹ landsª by destroying them utterly;ª ° and shalt thou¹ be delivered?ª ° ... Have the godsª of the nationsª deliveredª ° them which¹ my fathersª have destroyed,ª ° [as]¹ Gozan,ª and Haran,ª and Rezeph,ª and the childrenª of Edenª which¹ [were] in Telassar?ª" {Isa 37:11-12} + "Of a truth,ª LORD,ª the kingsª of Assyriaª have laid wasteª °¹ all¹ the nations,ª and their countries,ª ... And have castª °¹ their godsª into the fire:ª for¹ they¹ [were] no¹ gods,ª but¹ ¹ the workª of men'sª hands,ª woodª and stone:ª therefore they have destroyedª ° them." {Isa 37:18-19}

have they delivered:
"In the ninthª yearª of Hosheaª the kingª of Assyriaª tookª °¹ Samaria,ª and carried² ° Israel² awayª °¹ ¹ into Assyria,ª and placedª ° them in Halahª and in Haborª [by] the riverª of Gozan,ª and in the citiesª of the Medes.ª" {2Kg 17:6} + "Until¹ ¹ the LORDª removedª °¹ Israelª out of¹ ¹ his sight,ª as¹ he had saidª ° byª all¹ his servantsª the prophets.ª So was Israelª carried awayª ° out of¹ ¹ their own landª to Assyriaª unto¹ this¹ day.ª ... And the kingª of Assyriaª broughtª ° [men] from Babylon,ª ¹ and from Cuthah,ª ¹ and from Ava,ª ¹ and from Hamath,ª ¹ and from Sepharvaim,ª and placedª ° [them] in the citiesª of Samariaª instead¹ of the childrenª of Israel:ª and they possessedª °¹ Samaria,ª and dweltª ° in the citiesª thereof." {2Kg 17:23-24} + "And the men² ¹ of Babylonª madeª °¹ Succothbenoth,ª and the men² ¹ of Cuthª madeª °¹ Nergal,ª and the men² ¹ of Hamathª madeª °¹ Ashima,ª ... And the Avites² ¹ madeª ° Nibhazª and Tartak,ª and the Sepharvites² ¹ burntª °¹ their childrenª in fireª to Adrammelechª and Anammelech,ª the godsª of Sepharvaim.ª" {2Kg 17:30-31} + "Have the godsª of the nationsª deliveredª ° them which¹ my fathersª have destroyed;ª ° [as]¹ Gozan,ª and Haran,ª and Rezeph,ª and the childrenª of Edenª which¹ [were] in Thelasar?ª ... Where¹ [is] the kingª of Hamath,ª and the kingª of Arpad,ª and the kingª of the cityª of Sepharvaim,ª of Hena,ª and Ivah?ª" {2Kg 19:12-13}
