2 Kings 17:1-9

1In the twelfthH8147H6240 yearH8141 of AhazH271 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of ElahH425 to reignH4427 in SamariaH8111 over IsraelH3478 nineH8672 yearsH8141. 2And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, but not as the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 that were beforeH6440 him. 3Against him came upH5927 ShalmaneserH8022 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804; and HosheaH1954 became his servantH5650, and gaveH7725 him tributeH4503.12 4And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 foundH4672 conspiracyH7195 in HosheaH1954: for he had sentH7971 messengersH4397 to SoH5471 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and broughtH5927 no tributeH4503 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, as he had done yearH8141 by yearH8141: therefore the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 shut him upH6113, and boundH631 him in prisonH1004H3608.3 5Then the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 came upH5927 throughout all the landH776, and went upH5927 to SamariaH8111, and besiegedH6696 it threeH7969 yearsH8141. 6In the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 tookH3920 SamariaH8111, and carriedH1540 IsraelH3478 awayH1540 into AssyriaH804, and placedH3427 them in HalahH2477 and in HaborH2249 by the riverH5104 of GozanH1470, and in the citiesH5892 of the MedesH4074.

7For so it was, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, who had brought themH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from under the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and had fearedH3372 otherH312 godsH430, 8And walkedH3212 in the statutesH2708 of the heathenH1471, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, which they had madeH6213. 9And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did secretlyH2644 thingsH1697 that were not right against the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and they builtH1129 for themselves high placesH1116 in all their citiesH5892, from the towerH4026 of the watchmenH5341 to the fortifiedH4013 cityH5892.
