In [[722 BC]] the Northern Kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Assyrian Empire. Its people were moved en masse by the Assyrians into neighbouring territories, and people of other conquered nations moved into the land to fill the void. The Jews of the northern Kingdom assimilated into their new lands, and these tribes of Israel disappeared from history as a distinct people forever. The account is explained in [[2 Kings 17]] as a judgement against the people of the the northern Kingdom for repeated and continued unfaithfulness to God.
