Sargon returned with the Assyrian army in 720 BC, and pacified the province, deporting the citizens of Israel beyond the Euphrates (some 27,290 according to the inscription of Sargon II), and settling people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath and Sepharvaim in their place (2 Kings 17:6, 24).
The author of the Books of Kings states this destruction occurred "because the children of Israel sinned against the Lord" (2 Kings 17:7-24), not because of a political miscalculation on Hoshea's part.

He was installed king by Assurbanipal in 665 BC but the designation `I (one)' actually belongs more properly to the previous Ramses Siptah, one of the three brothers, who reigned briefly a few decades earlier.

By "secondary dates" I mean the minor exile in Israel (734-732 BC) before the final (major) one in 722 BC, and the minor exiles in Judah (605, 597, and 581 BC), other than the final (major) one in 586 BC.
The 701 BC exile can be taken either way; though it was a major catastrophe, yet the nation itself did not then lose its independence.
If one objects to my using the possible date of 587 BC for the fall of Jerusalem idealistically in company at once at once with the preferred 586 BC date, it makes little difference for these patterns.
