The existence of such inaccuracies in the Biblical narrative is the best proof we can have of its conformity with other historical writings. It is to be judged like them ; an impossible standard of mathematical accuracy is not to be demanded for it. The substantial truth of the story has been abundantly vindicated : the errors due to the defectiveness of his materials show only the honesty of the compiler and set the general trust- worthiness of his history in a clearer light. Perhaps one of th...e best examples of the carefulness with which his materials have been treated is to be found in the account of the capture of Samaria. " Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, " we are told, came up against Hoshea, who thereupon became his vassal. At a later date Hoshea revolted from " the king of Assyria, " and was in consequence shut up in prison. *' Then the king of Assyria " marched against Samaria "and besieged it three years. In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria and carried Israel away into Assyria.
