Sepharvaim . Calmet is of opinion that Sepharvaim was the capital of the Saspires , who , according to Herodotus , were the only people that inhabited between the Colchians and Medes; and probably the Sarapases , whom Strabo places in Armenia. Hiller considers the name as denoting Sephar of the Parvaim , i.e. , Mount Sephar adjacent to the regions of Arabia called Parvaim. But it is more probable , as Wells and others suppose , that Sepharvaim is the ינצבסב , Sipphara , of Ptolemy , the יננבסחםשם נןכיע , the city of the Sippareni , mentioned by Abydenus , and probably the Hipparenum of Pliny , a city of Mesopotamia , situated upon the Euphrates , near where it is divided into two arms , by one of which , it is probable , it was divided into two parts. 2 Kings 17 . 24

Lowth , and the miraculous destruction of his army , which makes the subject of so many of Isaiah's prophecies , is very properly inserted here , as affording the best light to many parts of these prophecies; and as almost necessary to introduce the prophecy in the Isaiah 37 . 1 , being the answer of God to Hezekiah's prayer , which could not be properly understood without it. Sennacherib succeeded his father Shalmaneser on the throne of Assyria , am 3290 , bc 714 , and reigned only about eight years.
