2 Kings 17:2-4

English Standard Version Anglicised

² And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before him. ^3 (A)Against him came up ^(B)Shalmaneser king of Assyria. And Hoshea became his vassal and paid him tribute. ⁴ But the king of Assyria found treachery in Hoshea, for he had sent messengers to So, king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. Therefore the king of Assyria shut him up and bound him in prison.
