2 Kings 17:3-6
17:3 King Shalmaneser of Assyria threatened
him; Hoshea became his subject and paid him tribute.
17:4 The king of Assyria discovered that Hoshea was planning a revolt.
Hoshea had sent messengers to King So
of Egypt and had not sent his annual tribute to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria arrested him and imprisoned him.
17:5 The king of Assyria marched through
the whole land. He attacked Samaria and besieged it for three years.
17:6 In the ninth year of Hoshea’s reign, the king of Assyria captured Samaria and deported the people of Israel
to Assyria. He settled them in Halah, along the Habor (the river of Gozan), and in the cities of the Medes.
2 Kings 18:9-12
18:9 In the fourth year of King Hezekiah’s reign (it was the seventh year of the reign of Israel’s King Hoshea, son of Elah), King Shalmaneser of Assyria marched up against Samaria and besieged it.
18:10 After three years he captured it (in the sixth year of Hezekiah’s reign); in the ninth year of King Hoshea’s reign over Israel Samaria was captured.
18:11 The king of Assyria deported the people of Israel to Assyria. He settled them in Halah, along the Habor (the river of Gozan), and in the cities of the Medes.
18:12 This happened because they did not obey the Lord their God and broke his agreement with them. They did not pay attention to and obey all that Moses, the Lord’s servant, had commanded.
