2 Kings 17:2-4

Revised Geneva Translation

² And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel who were before him.

³ And Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, came up against him. And Hoshea became his servant and gave him presents.

⁴ And the king of Assyria found treason in Hoshea. For he had sent messengers to So, king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done yearly. Therefore, the king of Assyria shut him up and put him in prison.
