Wherever he went, he prospered.
He rebelled against the king of Assyria, and didn’t serve him.
He struck the Philistines to Gaza and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it.
At the end of three years they took it.
In the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
