SEPHARVAIM. - A city of the Assyrian Empire, from which the "king of Assyria," probably Sargon II, as from the centers of Cuthah, Avah and Hamath, had emigrants or colonists recruited, with whom to repopulate the cities of Samaria, left uninhabited by the recent deportations (II Kings 17:24). It is identified with Sabarim of Ezek. 47:16, a city of Syria, between Hamath, with which it is named, and Damascus. Giovanni Rinaldi
