2 Kings 17:3-23 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Amur; and Hoshea will be to him a servant, and he will turn back to him a gift.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Amur; and Hoshea will be to him a servant, and he will turn back to him a gift. ⁴ And the king of Assur will find conspiracy in Hoshea, because he sent messengers to So, king of Egypt, and he brought up no gift to the king of Assur, as year by year; and the king of Assur will surround him and bind him in the house of shutting-up. ⁵ And the king of Assur will come up upon all the land, and he will comp up to Shomeron, and press upon her three years. ⁶ In the ninth year to Hoshea the king of Assur took Shomeron, and he will carry Israel into exile to Assur, and set them in Halah and in Habor, the river of Gozan, and the cities of the Medes. ⁷ And it will be that the sons of Israel sinned against Jehovah their God, having brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and they will fear,other gods. ⁸ And they will go in the laws of the nations which Jehovah dispossessed from the face of the sons of Israel, and the kings of Israel which they made. ⁹ And the sons of Israel will cover the words not thus concerning Jehovah their God, and they will build to them heights in all their cities from the tower of those watching even to the fortified city. ¹⁰ And they will set to them statues and images upon every high hill, and under every green tree. ¹¹ And they will burn incense there in all the heights as the nations which Jehovah carried into exile from their face; and they will do evil words to irritate Jehovah: ¹² And they will serve blocks which Jehovah said to them, Ye shall not do this word. ¹³ And Jehovah will testify in Israel and in Judah by the hand of all his prophets, all seeing, saying, Turn back from your evil ways and watch my commands, my laws according to all my instruction which I commanded your fathers, and which I Sent to you by the hand of my servants the prophets. ¹⁴ And they heard not, and they will harden their neck as the neck Of their fathers who did not believe in Jehovah their God. ¹⁵ And they will reject his laws and his covenant which he cut out with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified in them; and they will go after vanity, and they will be vain, and after the nations which were round about them which Jehovah commanded them not to do as they. ¹⁶ And they will forsake all the commands of Jehovah their God, and make to them a molten thing, two Calves; and they will make images, and they will worship to all the army of the heavens, and serve Baal. ¹⁷ And they will cause their sons and their daughters to pass through in fire, and divine divinations and enchantments, and they will be sold to do evil in the eyes of Jehovah to Irritate him. ¹⁸ And Jehovah will be greatly angry against Israel, and he will remove them from his face: not to leave only the tribe of Judah alone. ¹⁹ Also Judah watched not the commands of Jehovah their God, and they will go in the laws of Israel which they made. ²⁰ And Jehovah will reject in all the seed of Israel, and will afflict them, and he will give them into the hand of plunderers, till he cast them from his face. ²¹ For he rent Israel from above the house of David; and they will make Jeroboam son of Nebat, king; and Jeroboam will thrust out Israel king after Jehovah, and he caused them to sin a great sin. ²² And the sons of Israel will go in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they turned not away from them; ²³ Till Jehovah removed Israel from his face, as he spake by the hand of all his servants the prophets. And he will carry Israel into exile from his land to Assur, even to this day.
