AnswerIsrael, the northern Hebrew kingdom came to an end as an independent state in 722 with the capture of Samaria and loss of part of its population through the Assyrian policy of deportation, while others fled to Judah in the south.

In order to remain autonomous, the southern kingdom of Judah was forced to be totally submissive, although King Hezekiah (715-687/6 BCE) rebelled against the Assyrian King Sennacherib in 701 BCE. The attempted rebellion was a disaster and the great city of Lachish fell to the Assyrians, although Jerusalem itself was not taken.
