2 Kings 17:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

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.

⁵ Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land and went against Samaria and besieged it for three years.
