2 Reyes 17:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 17:4

And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea
That he was forming a scheme to rebel against him, and cast off his yoke; of this he had intelligence by spies he sent, and placed to observe him very probably:

for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt;
to treat with him, and enter into alliance with him, to help him against, and free him from, the king of Assyria. This king of Egypt is supposed to be Sabacon the Ethiopian, who reigned in Egypt ninety years; of whom Herodotus F25 and Diodorus Siculus F26 make mention; by Theodoret he is called Adramelech the Ethiopian, who dwelt in Egypt:

and brought no presents to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by
year;
did not pay him his yearly tribute:

therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison;
that is, after he took Samaria, the siege of which is next related; unless it can be thought that he met with him somewhere out of the capital, and seized him, and made him his prisoner, and after that besieged his city; which is not so likely.

2 E hizo lo malo en ojos del SE脩OR, aunque no como los reyes de Israel que antes de 茅l hab铆an sido.
3 Contra 茅ste subi贸 Salmanasar rey de los Asirios; y Oseas fue hecho su siervo, y le pagaba tributo.
4 Mas el rey de Asiria hall贸 que Oseas hac铆a conjuraci贸n; porque hab铆a enviado embajadores a So, rey de Egipto, y ya no pagaba tributo al rey de Asiria, como cada a帽o; y el rey de Asiria le detuvo, y le aprision贸 en la casa de la c谩rcel.
5 Y el rey de Asiria parti贸 contra toda la tierra, y subi贸 contra Samaria, y estuvo sobre ella tres a帽os.
6 En el a帽o nueve de Oseas tom贸 el rey de Asiria a Samaria, y trasport贸 a Israel a Asiria, y los puso en Halah, y en Habor, junto al r铆o de Goz谩n, y en las ciudades de los Medos.
