2 Kings 18:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ The Lord was with Hezekiah so that he was successful in everything that he decided to do. He turned against the king of Assyria. He refused to serve him. ⁸ He won battles against the Philistines as far as Gaza. He took all their towns, large and small.

⁹ When Hezekiah had been king for four years, Shalmaneser, the king of Assyria, took his army to attack Samaria. That was when Hoshea had been king of Israel for seven years. The Assyrian army made their camp around the city of Samaria.
