Israel Carried Captive to Assyria
5 Now athe king of Assyria went throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria and besieged it for three years.
6 aIn the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria and bcarried Israel away to Assyria, cand placed them in Halah and by the Habor, the River of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
7 For aso it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and they had bfeared other gods,
8 and ahad walked in the statutes of the nations whom the Lord had cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.
9 Also the children of Israel secretly did against the Lord their God things that were not right, and they built for themselves1 high places in all their cities, afrom watchtower to fortified city.
