2. Some remained in Pal´es-tine, others returned thither and formed the nucleus of the Sa-mar´i-tan people, a race of mingled origin (2 Kings 17. 24-29).
3. Some of those who remained in the East retained their religion, or were revived in it, and later became a part of the Jews of the dispersion; though "the dispersion" was mainly Jew´ish, and not Is´ra-el-ite.
4. A few families united with the Jews, returned with them to Pal´es-tine after the exile, yet retained their tribal relationship; for example, An´na (Luke 2. 36).
