Heathen colonists placed in Samaria on the captivity of the ten tribes (Ezra 4:9⁹Then wrote Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions; the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Susanchites, the Dehavites, and the Elamites, (Ezra 4:9)).
