He restored the coasts of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea, in the wild fields, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel which he spake through his servant Jonah the son of Amittai the prophet, which was of Gathhepher.

The rest of the deeds of Jeroboam, and all he did, and his power how he fought, and how he restored Damascus and Hamath to Judah in Israel are written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

And the king of Assyria brought from Babylon and from Cuthah, and from Avva and from Hamath and from Sepharvaim, and put them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel. And they possessed Samaria and dwelt in the cities thereof.

The men of Babylon made Succothbenoth; The men of Cuth made Nergal; They of Hamath made Ashima;

Where are the Gods of Hamath and of Arpad? Where are the Gods of Sepharvaim, of Hena and Ivvah? Did they deliver Samaria out of mine hands?

Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, and the king of Hena and the king of Ivvah?'"

And Pharaoh Neco put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath in the time of his reign in Jerusalem, and put the land to a tribute of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

And the king of Babylon smote them and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. And so Judah was carried away out of all their land.
