2 KINGS 17

Hoshea is forced to become a vassal of the Assyrians. However, Hoshea fails to send the annual tribute, and sends envoys to Sais, the Egyptian king, for help. Shalmaneser occupies Israel and besieges Samaria, and the nine tribes of Israel are completely deported to other regions of the Assyrian empire.
