2 Kings 17:3-5

21st Century King James Version

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

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.
