Diaspora
(From Forerunner Commentary)

2 Kings 17:5-8  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) God was thorough. He just wiped them all out of the land of Canaan and sent them into the cities of the Medes and into Assyria—exiled. And in a way, they are still in exile. God has led them to the lands that He was holding for them. The descendants of Israel who went into exile do not know that their homeland is back in Canaan. They have never gone back. That is a detail of how thorough God's exile of Israel was—they forgot everything. Just as He prophesied in Deuteronomy 28, the Israelites went into other lands and took gods of wood and stone and completely forgot their past. Richard T. Ritenbaugh How to Survive Exile

James 1:1  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) In New Testament times, the house of Israel was still scattered—still in a state of punishment. Therefore, Israel was still in exile as late as the generation of James, still punished more than 750 years after Assyria conquered it. Charles Whitaker Searching for Israel (Part Seven): Seven Years' Punishment
