1 In the twelfth yere of Ahaz king of Iuda, began Hosea the sonne of Elah to raigne in Samaria vpon Israel nine yeres: 2 And did that which was euill in the sight of the Lorde, but not as the kinges of Israel that were before him. 3 And Salmanasar king of Assyria came vp against him, and Hosea became his seruaunt, and gaue him presentes. 4 And the king of Assyria founde treason in Hosea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present vnto the king of Assyria from yere to yere: and therefore the king of Assyria shut him vp, and bounde him in the pryson house. 2 Kings 17:1-4, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
