2 Kings 17:2-4
Wycliffe Bible
2 And he did evil before the Lord, but not as the kings of Israel, that were before him.
3 Shalmaneser, king of Assyrians, went up against Hoshea, and Hoshea was made (a) servant to him, and yielded tributes to him (and paid him taxes).
4 And when the king of Assyrians had perceived, that Hoshea enforced to rebel, and (that he) had sent messengers to So, king of Egypt, that he should not give tributes to the king of Assyrians, as he was wont (to do) by all years, the king of Assyrians besieged him, and sent him bound into prison. (And when the king of Assyria had perceived that Hoshea endeavoured to rebel, for he had sent messengers to So, the king of Egypt, asking for help, and thereafter paid no taxes to the king of Assyria, as he had done before by all years, the king of Assyria besieged him, and bound him, and put him in prison.)

2 Kings 17:2-4
New International Version
2 He did evil(A) in the eyes of the Lord, but not like the kings of Israel who preceded him.
3 Shalmaneser(B) king of Assyria came up to attack Hoshea, who had been Shalmaneser’s vassal and had paid him tribute.(C) 4 But the king of Assyria discovered that Hoshea was a traitor, for he had sent envoys to So[a] king of Egypt,(D) and he no longer paid tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. Therefore Shalmaneser seized him and put him in prison.(E)
