The Fall of Samaria and the End of Israel

2 Kings 17:1-6

In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah reigned hath Hoshea son of Elah in Samaria, over Israel--nine years,

and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, only, not as the kings of Israel who were before him;

against him came up Shalmaneser king of Asshur, and Hoshea is to him a servant, and doth render to him a present.

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.

And the king of Asshur goeth up into all the land, and he goeth up to Samaria, and layeth siege against it three years;

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.
