An Assyrian city whose gods were invoked alongside other foreign deities in taunt speeches against Jerusalem. The Assyrian king deported residents from Sepharvaim and resettled them in Samaria, making it a symbol of Assyrian power over conquered peoples. Its exact location remains uncertain, though it was clearly a known center of the ancient Near East.

Hear its story sung

"The king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, from Cuthah, from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and lived in its cities."
