2 Kings 17:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³ Shalmaneser king of Assyria went up against him, and Hoshea became his vassal and paid tribute to him. ⁴ But the king of Assyria caught Hoshea in a conspiracy. He had sent messengers to So^[a] king of Egypt, and he did not send tribute to the king of Assyria as he had done in previous years. That is why the king of Assyria arrested him and confined him in prison.

⁵ Then the king of Assyria invaded the whole land. He went up against Samaria and laid siege to it for three years.
