† סְפַרְוַ֫יִם proper name, of a location city conquered by king of Assyria; — ס׳ 2 Kings 17:14; 2 Kings 18:34 = סְפַוָ֑יִם Isaiah 36:19, עִיר סְפַרְוָ֑יִם 2 Kings 19:13 = Isaiah 37:13; סְפַרְוָ֑יִם also 2 Kings 17:31b Qr (Kt. ספרים); Greek Version of the LXX Σεπφαρουαιν, Επφαρουαιμ, etc., LXX of Lucian (Lag.) Σεπφαρειμ; — usually identification with Sippara (on a canal), between Bagdad and Babylon, a city in two parts, Sipp. of Samaš (modern Abbu Habba), and Sipp. of Anunitu(m) on opposed to side of canal, hence dual ס׳ = the two Sipparas SchrCOT 2 Kings 17:24, compare DlPar 209-212 TieleGeschichte. 88; this recently disputed, in view of mention with Hamath and other northern cities (2 Kings 17:24 and especially 2 Kings 18:34), see HalZA ii. 401 ff. DiIsaiah 36:19 WklAlttest, Unters. 101 Benz 2 Kings 17:24 and others, who compare Šabara'in city conquered by Šalmanašarid IV (Wkl in SchrKB ii. 276); but this by no means certain.
