2 Kings 17:4-6

[4] And 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  therefore the king  of Assyria  shut him up,  and bound  him in prison.  [5] Then the king  of Assyria  came up  throughout all the land,  and went up  to Samaria,  and besieged  it three  years.  [6] In the ninth  year  of Hoshea  the king  of Assyria  took  Samaria,  Israel  away  into Assyria,  and placed  them in Halah  and in Habor  by the river  of Gozan,  and in the cities  of the Medes.
