Oops of the Day

The hated Samaritans in the middle province of Palestine between Judah and Galilee went out of existence.

II Kings 17:24-41

Fact of the Day

No! There are Samaritans even today – proven by DNA.  After the Assyrians took the Jews captive to their land (today’s Iraq), they filled the empty Jewish cities with their own people (today’s Iraqi’s). They became a mixed breed and hated by the Jews. Some Samaritans still exist today in the same area of Palestine. DNA shows them to be part Jewish and part Iraqi.  There are several internet articles about them.
