In the twelfth year of Achaz king of Juda began Osee the son of Ela to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
2
And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, only not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
3
Against him came up Salamanassar king of the Assyrians; and Osee became his servant, and rendered him tribute.
4
And the king of the Assyrians found iniquity in Osee, in that he sent messengers to Segor king of Egypt, and brought not a tribute to the king of the Assyrians in that year: and the king of the Assyrians besieged him, and bound him in the prison-house.
5
And the king of the Assyrians went up against all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
