**In year** 12 of Chizkiyahu, Sancherev returned and brought Cutheans to settle in Shomron, and two Jews to teach them the Torah of Yisrael: Rav Dustai [(see there)] Rav Yanai and Rav Savyan, as appears in Tanchuma Vayeshev [(and in Yalkut and Pirkei d'Rabbi Eliezer). But this is difficult, for the ordination we call Rabbi was instituted many years after this, and I wrote about this elsewhere]. Afterward he went against many kingdoms and captured 150 provinces and transferred them from place to place and from province to province.

Then he rolled over the whole world and also went against the kingdom of Yehudah and captured part of the tribe of Yehudah and all of the tribe of Shimon, and sought to take them to the land of Chalach and Chavor as he had done to the exiles of Shomron, but he could not, for behold the king of Cush attacked him and fought with him and left the Jews on the way, and also HaShem caused great darkness, and this was the fourth exile of Yisrael [(Sha'ar HaDorot)].
