2 Kings 17:1-5

1In the twelfth yearH8141 of AhazH271 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of ElahH425 began to reignH4427 in SamariaH8111 over IsraelH3478, for nineH8672 yearsH8141.

2And he did evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah, but not as the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 that had beenH1961 before him.

3Against him came up ShalmaneserH8022 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and HosheaH1954 becameH1961 his servantH5650, and tendered him presents.

4But the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 foundH4672 conspiracyH7195 in HosheaH1954; for he had sentH7971 messengersH4397 to So kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and sentH7971 up no present to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 as [he had done] from yearH8141 to yearH8141. And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 shutH6113 him up and boundH631 him in prison.

5And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 overran the whole landH776, and wentH5927 up against SamariaH8111, and besieged it threeH7969 yearsH8141.
