Hoshea’s Reign over Israel In the twelfth year of King Ahaz’s reign over Judah, Hoshea son of Elah became king over Israel. He reigned in Samaria for nine years.
He did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not to the same degree as the Israelite kings who preceded him.
King Shalmaneser of Assyria marched up to attack him; so Hoshea became his subject and paid him tribute.
The king of Assyria discovered that Hoshea was planning a revolt. Hoshea had sent messengers to King So of Egypt and had not sent his annual tribute to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria arrested him and imprisoned him.
The king of Assyria marched through the whole land. He attacked Samaria and besieged it for three years.
