Kind of a cool pairing of Old and New Testament Scriptures. In Chronicles, we see one half of the Kingdom carrying off their kinsmen to Samaria, being rebuked by a prophet, and turning around. In the New Testament, we see the gospel which came from that conquered kingdom being brought to Samaria and repentance (turning around?) becoming the result. While a lot of the northern kingdom had been scattered, the Lord had not abandoned the place of his promise. The promise had been fulfilled.
