2 Kings 17:3-7

3ShalmaneserH8022 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 attackedH5921 himH5927, and HosheaH1954 becameH1961 his vassalH5650 and paidH7725 him tributeH4503. 4But the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 discoveredH4672 that HosheaH1954 had conspiredH7195 to sendH7971 envoysH4397 toH413 KingH4428 SoH54711 of EgyptH4714, and that he had notH3808 paidH5927 tributeH4503 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 as in previous yearsH8141. Therefore the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 arrestedH6113 Hoshea and put himH631H1004 in prisonH3608.

5Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 invadedH5927 the wholeH3605 landH776, marched upH5927 to SamariaH8111, and besiegedH6696 itH5921 for threeH7969 yearsH8141.

6In the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 capturedH3920 SamariaH8111 and carried awayH1540 the IsraelitesH3478 to AssyriaH804, where he settledH3427 themH853 in HalahH2477, in GozanH1470 by the HaborH2249 RiverH5104, and in the citiesH5892 of the MedesH4074.

7All this happenedH1961 becauseH3588 the peopleH1121 of IsraelH3478 had sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, who had broughtH5927 themH853 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 from underH8478 the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714. They had worshipedH3372 otherH312 godsH430
