2 Kings 17:4-6
New English Translation
4 The king of Assyria discovered that Hoshea was planning a revolt.[a] Hoshea had sent messengers to King So[b] of Egypt and had not sent his annual tribute to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria arrested him and imprisoned him.[c] 5 The king of Assyria marched through[d] the whole land. He attacked Samaria and besieged it for three years. 6 In the ninth year of Hoshea’s reign, the king of Assyria captured Samaria and deported the people of Israel[e] to Assyria. He settled them in Halah, along the Habor (the river of Gozan), and in the cities of the Medes.
