Answer:The Israelites rebelled against the Assyrian Empire and reunited with Judah.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 721 BCE, the Assyrian army captured the Israelite capital at Samaria and carried away the citizens of the northern Kingdom of Israel into captivity. The virtual destruction of Israel left the southern kingdom, Judah, to fend for itself among warring Near-Eastern kingdoms.
