Assyria proper, now Kourdistan, was bounded by Armenia on the

west, between 33° and 38° N. lat. and 42° and 46° E. long.
But the Assyrian empire, the bounds of which were different at
different times, in its most flourishing state, according to
the descriptions of the Greek and Roman writers, comprehended
all the countries and nations between the Mediterranean on the
west, and the Indus on the east, and between the deserts of
Scythia on the north, and the Indian ocean on the south.

- 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 [ ,] Sipphara, of Ptolemy,
the [ ,] 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.

* Isa 33:7; 37:1,2 2Ki 5:7 Ezr 9:3 Mt 26:65
The history of the invasion of Sennacherib, observes Bp.
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 37th chapter, 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, A.M. 3290, B.C. 714, and
reigned only about eight years.
