2 Kings 17:2-4

Darby Translation

² And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not as the kings of Israel that had been before him.

³ Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria, and Hoshea became his servant, and tendered him presents.

⁴ But the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and sent up no present to the king of Assyria as [he had done] from year to year. And the king of Assyria shut him up and bound him in prison.
