2 Kings 17:4-6

Revised Geneva Translation

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.

⁶ In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria, Samaria took and carried Israel away to Assyria and put them in Halah and in Habor, by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
