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 by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 17 of 2 Kings. Hoshea becomes the last king of Israel. After conspiring against Assyrian power, he stops paying tribute and seeks support from Egypt. Shalmaneser responds by invading the kingdom, besieging Samaria, and eventually capturing the city. The deportation marks the political end of the northern kingdom. The account is deliberately restrained: after centuries of history, the fall of Samaria is described as the result of a chain of political decisions and, in the chapter’s interpretation, as the outcome of a long history of unfaithfulness.

Da aber der König von Assyrien inneward, daß Hosea einen Bund anrichtete und hatte Boten zu So, dem König in Ägypten, gesandt, griff er ihn und legte ihn ins Gefängnis.
Mas el rey de Asiria halló que Oseas hacía conjuración: porque había enviado embajadores a So, rey de Egipto, y no pagaba tributo al rey de Asiria, como cada año: por lo que el rey de Asiria le detuvo, y le aprisionó en la casa de la cárcel.
Pero el rey de Asiria descubrió una conspiración de Oseas: había enviado mensajeros a So, rey de Egipto, y había dejado de entregar al rey de Asiria el tributo que pagaba año tras año. El rey de Asiria lo detuvo y lo encerró en prisión.
Mais le roi d'Assyrie découvrit une conspiration chez Osée, qui avait envoyé des messagers à So, roi d'Egypte, et qui ne payait plus annuellement le tribut au roi d'Assyrie. Le roi d'Assyrie le fit enfermer et enchaîner dans une prison.
Ma il re degli Assiri scoperse una congiura in Osea; perciocchè egli avea mandati ambasciatori a So, re d’Egitto, e non avea pagato il tributo annuale al re degli Assiri; laonde il re degli Assiri lo serrò, e lo mise ne’ ceppi in carcere.
Porém o rei da Assíria achou em Oséias conspiração; porque enviara mensageiros a Sô, rei do Egito, e não pagava tributos ao rei da Assíria cada ano, como dantes; então o rei da Assíria o encerrou e aprisionou na casa do cárcere.
