Who this is

Sepharvites were people from Sepharvaim, one of the nations the Assyrians transplanted into Samaria after deporting Israel. 2 Kings 17:31 reports that they burned their children as offerings to their gods Adrammelech and Anammelech, and the location of Sepharvaim itself remains uncertain, variously identified with a Syrian or Babylonian site.
