After the defeat of Israel in 722 BCE, the Assyrians deported many of the urban Israelites, while others fled south into Judah and Egypt. The Assyrians repopulated the new province they called Samaria with captives from neighbouring lands. While the immigrants had no Hebrew ancestry, most of them were Semitic, particularly Arabic captives. Some Israelites seem to have remained, particularly in rural areas, and some Israelites may have returned in small numbers. Overall, the population was largely of non-Israelite ancestry. At some stage, the Samarians adopted an archaic form of Judaism, but rejected many of the scriptures that glorified the southern kingdom of Judah. These were the people that came to be known as the Samarians or Samaritans, but they were not really descended from any of the legendary twelve tribes.
