2 Kings 17:3

Hoshea the Last King of Israel

2And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not like the kings of Israel who preceded him.3Shalmaneser king of Assyria attacked him, and Hoshea became his vassal and paid him tribute. 4But the king of Assyria discovered that Hoshea had conspired to send envoys to King So of Egypt, and that he had not paid tribute to the king of Assyria as in previous years. Therefore the king of Assyria arrested Hoshea and put him in prison.
