Informace ze slovníku
jedno z míst, odkud Assyřané přivedli kolonisty do zpustošené a vylidněné říše Izraelské [2Kr 17,24 ; 2Kr 17,31 ], snad totožné s městem téhož jména [2Kr 18,34 ; 2Kr 19,13 ]. Někteří badatelé se domnívají, že jde o město Sippar na vých. břehu Eufratu, sev. od Babylona. Jiní mají za to, že je míněno Sabarim, syrské město, které vyvrátil Salmanazar V. r. 727 př. Kr. (sr. Sibraim u [Ez 47,16 ]).

Sepharvaim
taken by Sargon, king of Assyria (2Kings 17:24; 18:34; 19:13; Isa 37:13). It was a double city, and received the common name Sepharvaim, i.e., "the two Sipparas," or "the two booktowns." The Sippara on the east bank of the Euphrates is now called Abu-Habba; that on the other bank was Accad, the old capital of Sargon I., where he established a great library. (See SARGON)
The recent discovery of cuneiform inscriptions at Tel el-Amarna in Egypt, consisting of official dispatches to Pharaoh Amenophis IV. and his predecessor from their agents in Palestine, proves that in the century before the Exodus an active literary intercourse was carried on between these nations, and that the medium of the correspondence was the Babylonian language and script.
