lesserot - 2Kings:17:1-6

lesserot@2Kings:17:1 @ In the twelfth year of Achaz the king of Judah became Hoshea the son of Elah king in Samaria over Israel, nine years.

lesserot@2Kings:17:2 @ And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, but not like the kings of Israel that were before him.

lesserot@2Kings:17:3 @ Against him came up Shalmanesser, the king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and rendered him tribute.

lesserot@2Kings:17:4 @ And the king of Assyria discovered a conspiracy on Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So the king of Egypt, and had raised no tribute for the king of Assyria, as year by year; and the king of Assyria made him prisoner, and shut him up in a prisonhouse.

lesserot@2Kings:17:5 @ And the king of Assyria came up over all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.

lesserot@2Kings:17:6 @ In the ninth year of Hoshea did the king of Assyria capture Samaria, and he led Israel away as exiles into Assyria, and settled them in Chalach and in Chabor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of Media.
