Otzar Midrashim
The Ten Tribes: there are various tales told of the Ten Tribes which were exiled from Eretz Yisroel before the exile of the children of the Tribe of Yehudah, part of the Tribe of Binyamin, the Kohanim and the Levi'im. In the days of Pekach, the king of Yisroel, Tiglas-Peleisar, the king of Assyria, came and captured the cities of the Gilead and the land of Naphtali and exiled the people to Assyria (II Kings 15:29). In the days of Hoshea ben Eila, Shalmaneser, the king of Assyria, arose and besieged Shomron (Samaria) for three years, he captured it and "he exiled Yisroel to Assyria and settled them in Chalach, Chavor, the River Gozen and the cities of Modai (Media) [II Kings 17:6]." 133 years later the exile of Yehudah took place.
