6:2 Calneh and Hamath were Aramean city-states under Israelite influence (see 2 Kgs 14:28). Calneh fell to Assyria in 738 BC, and Hamath was forced to pay tribute shortly thereafter. Uzziah had broken down the wall of Gath (2 Chr 26:6), but it also fell to Assyria in 711 BC. • You are no better: Israel itself fell in 722 BC.
