Chapter 17

KJV - 2 Kings 17:4

And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.

The Assyrian king discovered a plot involving Hoshea. He had sent messages to the Egyptian king without giving gifts to the Assyrian king like he did every year. So, the Assyrian king captured and imprisoned Hoshea.
