2 Kings 17:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

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

⁴ But the king of Assyria found treachery in Hoshea, for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt and offered no tribute 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 invaded all the land and went up to Samaria and besieged it for three years.
