2 Kings 17:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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

⁶ And in the ninth year of Osee, the king of the Assyrians took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria: and he placed them in Hala and Habor by the river of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.

⁷ For so it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and they worshipped strange gods.
