2 Kings 17:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ Against him came up Salmanasar king of the Assyrians, and Osee became his servant, and paid him tribute.

⁴ And when the king of the Assyrians found that Osee endeavouring to rebel had sent messengers to Sua the king of Egypt, that he might not pay tribute to the king of the Assyrians, as he had done every year, he besieged him, bound him, and cast him into prison,

⁵ And he went through all the land: and going up to Samaria, he besieged it three years.
