2 Kings 17:2-8

2And he did that which wasH1961 evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah, yet not as the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 that were before him. 3Against him came up ShalmaneserH8022 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804; and HosheaH1954 becameH1961 his servantH5650, and broughtH5927 him tributeH4503. 4And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 foundH4672 conspiracyH7195 in HosheaH1954; for he had sentH7971 messengersH4397 to So kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and offeredH5927 no tributeH4503 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, as he had done yearH8141 by yearH8141: therefore the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 shutH6113 him up, and boundH631 him in prison. 5Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 cameH5927 up throughout all the landH776, and wentH5927 up to SamariaH8111, and besieged it threeH7969 yearsH8141. 6In the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 tookH3920 SamariaH8111, and carried IsraelH3478 away unto AssyriaH804, and placed them in HalahH2477, and on the HaborH2249, the riverH5104 of GozanH1470, and in the citiesH5892 of the Medes.

7And it wasH1961 so, because the children of IsraelH3478 had sinnedH2398 against Jehovah their GodH430, who broughtH5927 them up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 from under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and had fearedH3372 otherH312 godsH430, 8and walked in the statutesH2708 of the nationsH1471, whom Jehovah cast out from before the children of IsraelH3478, and of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, which they madeH6213.
