1 La douzième année d’Achaz, roi de Juda, Osée, fils d’Éla, régna sur Israël à Samarie. Il régna neuf ans.

2 Il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de l’Éternel, non pas toutefois comme les rois d’Israël qui avaient été avant lui.

3 Salmanasar, roi d’Assyrie, monta contre lui; et Osée lui fut assujetti, et lui paya un tribut.

4 Mais le roi d’Assyrie découvrit une conspiration chez Osée, qui avait envoyé des messagers à So, roi d’Égypte, et qui ne payait plus annuellement le tribut au roi d’Assyrie. Le roi d’Assyrie le fit enfermer et enchaîner dans une prison.
