10. And at the end of three years, they took it; even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is the ninth year of Hosea, king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
11. And the king of Assyria carried away Israel unto Assyria and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan and in the cities of the Medes:
12. because they had not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord their God, but had broken his covenant and all that Moses, the slave of the Lord, commanded and would not hear them nor do them.
13. Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came up against all the fenced cities of Judah and took them.
14. And Hezekiah, king of Judah, sent unto the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have sinned; return from me; that which thou puttest on me I will bear. Then the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah, king of Judah, three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
15. And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord and in the treasury of the king’s house.
16. At that time Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the Lord and from the hinges which Hezekiah, king of Judah, had overlaid and gave it to the king of Assyria.
17. And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the washer’s field.
