2 Kings 17:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, [a]but not as the kings of Israel, that were before him.
3 And Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against him, and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.
4 And the king of Assyria found treason in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present unto the king of Assyria, [b]as he had done yearly: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and put him in prison.
