2 Kings 17:4 in Context — 2 Kings 17

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.

5 Et le roi d’Assyrie parcourut tout le pays, et monta contre Samarie, qu’il assiégea pendant trois ans.

6 La neuvième année d’Osée, le roi d’Assyrie prit Samarie, et emmena Israël captif en Assyrie. Il les fit habiter à Chalach, et sur le Chabor, fleuve de Gozan, et dans les villes des Mèdes.
