1 In the twelfth year to Ahaz king of Judah, reigned Hoshea son of Elah, in Shomeron over Israel nine years. 2 And he will do evil in the eyes of Jehovah, but not as the kings of Israel which were before him. 3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Amur; and Hoshea will be to him a servant, and he will turn back to him a gift. 4 And the king of Assur will find conspiracy in Hoshea, because he sent messengers to So, king of Egypt, and he brought up no gift to the king of Assur, as year by year; and the king of Assur will surround him and bind him in the house of shutting up. 2 Kings 17:1-4, Smith's Literal Translation.
