SEPHARVAIM

(Heb. sĕparwayim)

A Mesopotamian city of unknown location whose citizens were brought by Sargon II to Samaria after its fall in 722 b.c.e. (2 Kgs. 17:24). Apparently they were devotees of Adrammelech and Anammelech, whose worship included the sacrifice of children by fire (2 Kgs. 17:31).

Sepharvaim is one of the towns mentioned in Sennacherib’s attempt, through his envoy the Rabshakeh, to show Judah the folly of her resistance to Assyria (2 Kgs. 18:34 = Isa. 36:19; 2 Kgs. 19:13 = Isa. 37:13). If the kings and gods of these cities could not effect their rescue, neither should Judah expect it of her kings and gods.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
