2 Kings 17
3 Shalmaneser king of Assyria came after him with an army. Hoshea gave up. He bowed down and paid money every single year.
6 In the ninth year Hoshea ruled, the king of Assyria broke through and took Samaria. He dragged the Israelites off to Assyria like animals. He scattered them in Halah, along the Habor river in Gozan, and in towns all through the Medes.
24 The king of Assyria grabbed people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim. He dumped them in the towns of Samaria to take Israel's place. These strangers moved in and called Samaria home.
