2 Kings 17:4

The interference of Assyria with the Israelite kingdoms raised the fears of Egypt, which accordingly encouraged any disaffection which the Israelite sovereigns manifested towards their Assyrian over-lords. But the hopes which Hoshea entertained of Egyptian support proved as delusive to him as they did subsequently to Hezekiah and Zedekiah: cp. Isaiah 30:3; Isaiah 31:1; Jeremiah 37:7. Shut him up, and bound him] Possibly Hoshea was either captured, or surrendered before his capital was taken.
