1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea son of Elah began to reign in Samaria upon Israel, and continued nine years,
2 and did that displeased the LORD: but not so evil as did the kings of Israel that were before him.
3 And Shalmaneser king of Assyria came upon him, and Hoshea became his servant and gave him presents.
4 And the king of Assyria found treason in Hoshea, because he had sent messengers to So, king of Egypt, and sent no presents unto the king of Assyria, as he was yearly wont to do. Therefore the king of Assyria besieged him and put him in prison.
