Isaiah 12
The chapter contains a psalm for the day of the Lord outlined in Isaiah 11.
Isaiah 17
The chapter starts with a prophecy about the imminent fall of Damascus, but blends with prophecies about the fall of Ephraim (the northern kingdom/Samaria), It discusses a remnant of Israel remaining, like a few olives in the top branches of a tree that has been harvested. Those that remain in Israel will look to God.
So, it seems to speak that after the Assyrians swoop in, they will take most Israelites away. However, those remaining will look to God. I do not know what happened historically. It is quite possible that any remaining went south to the extent southern kingdom of Jerusalem.
