Usage: The term "Cuth" or "Cuthah" is used in the context of the Assyrian resettlement of Israel, specifically referring to the people brought from this region to Samaria. Context: Cuth, or Cuthah, is mentioned in the context of the Assyrian conquest and resettlement policies during the 8th century BCE. The Assyrian king, after capturing the northern kingdom of Israel, deported many Israelites and replaced them with people from various regions, including Cuthah. This is recorded in 2 Kings 17:24: "Then the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim and settled them in the towns of Samaria to replace the Israelites. They took over Samaria and lived in its towns." The inhabitants from Cuthah, known as Cuthites, were part of the mixed population that became known as the Samaritans. The city of Cuthah itself was located in Mesopotamia, and its people brought with them their own religious practices, which led to syncretism with the local Israelite religion. This historical context is significant in understanding the cultural and religious dynamics in the region during and after the Assyrian exile.
