2 Kings 17:1-3

In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah became king over Israel in Samaria, and reigned for nine years. He did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel who came before him. Shalmaneser [V] king of Assyria came up against him, and Hoshea became his servant and paid him tribute (money).
