Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

כּוּת 2 Kings 17:30, and כּוּתָה verse 24 2 Kings 17:24, pr.n. Cuth, Cuthah, the country of the Cuthæans; i.e. of a nation who were brought by the king of Assyria to inhabit the territory of the kingdom of Israel after the people had been carried into captivity; they afterwards became one nation with those who were left of the old inhabitants, thus forming the Samaritan people, who, on this account, are called by the Chaldeans and Talmudists, כּוּתִים. Nothing can be certainly stated as to the locality of this country, which Josephus (Archæol. ix. 14, § 3) places in Persia; others seek it in Phœnicia, because the Samaritans themselves professed a Sidonian origin (Jos. Ant. xi. 8. § 6 xii. 5. § 5 ); see Michaëlis Spicileg. P. i. p. 104, sq.
