ylt@2Kings:17:2 @and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, only, not as the kings of Israel who were before him;

ylt@2Kings:17:3 @against him came up Shalmaneser king of Asshur, and Hoshea is to him a servant, and doth render to him a present.

ylt@2Kings:17:4 @And the king of Asshur findeth in Hoshea a conspiracy, in that he hath sent messengers unto So king of Egypt, and hath not caused a present to go up to the king of Asshur, as year by year, and the king of Asshur restraineth him, and bindeth him in a house of restraint.

ylt@2Kings:17:5 @And the king of Asshur goeth up into all the land, and he goeth up to Samaria, and layeth siege against it three years;

ylt@2Kings:17:6 @in the ninth year of Hoshea hath the king of Asshur captured Samaria, and removeth Israel to Asshur, and causeth them to dwell in Halah, and in Habor, [by] the river Gozan, and [in] the cities of the Medes.
