2 Kings 17:1-3

21st Century King James Version

17 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.

² And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, but not as the kings of Israel who were before him.

³ Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and rendered him tribute.
