2 Kings 17:3-5

BRG Bible

³ Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.

⁴ And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.

⁵ ¶ Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
