17:3Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.

17:4And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present 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.

17:5Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.

18:9And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
