2 Kings 17:3-6
3 aAgainst him came up bShalmaneser king of Assyria. And Hoshea became his vassal and paid him tribute. 4But the king of Assyria found treachery in Hoshea, for he had sent messengers to So, king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. Therefore the king of Assyria shut him up and bound him in prison. 5Then the king of Assyria invaded all the land and came to Samaria, and for three years he besieged it.The Fall of Israel
6In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria ccaptured Samaria, dand he carried the Israelites away to Assyria eand placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of fGozan, and in the cities of gthe Medes.2 Kings 18:9-12
9In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel, hShalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it, 10and at the end of three years he took it. In the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken. 11The king of Assyria carried the Israelites away to Assyria and put them in iHalah, and on the jHabor, kthe river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes, 12because they did not obey the voice of the Lord their God but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded. They neither listened nor obeyed.
