A:The Israelites were exiled from Israel in 720 BCE, two years after the Assyrians overran Israel. However, not all Israelites would have been exiled. Some fled to Egypt, forming an Israelite colony at Elaphantine. Many, particularly the rural population, remained behind and eventually merged with the people who were brought in by the Assyrians, becoming the Samarians (or Samaritans) of later times.

The closely related people of Judah were exiled in 588 and 586 BCE. Again, it was mainly the elite population from Jerusalem that was exiled, with the less valuable workers and most of the rural population apparently allowed to remain behind. Unlike Assyria, Babylon did not bring foreigners into Judah, so a return to Judah was something the exiled Jews could still aspire to.
