Parallel
2 Kings 17:4
World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible
The king of Assyria discovered a conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. Therefore the king of Assyria seized him, and bound him in prison.
But the king of Assyria discovered that Hoshea had conspired to send envoys to King So (note: So is likely an abbreviation for Osorkon.) of Egypt, and that he had not paid tribute to the king of Assyria as in previous years. Therefore the king of Assyria arrested Hoshea and put him in prison.
