2 Kings 17:2 in Context — 2 Kings 17

1 No ano décimo segundo de Acaz rei de Judá, começou a reinar Oseias filho de Elá em Samaria sobre Israel; e reinou nove anos.

2 E fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, ainda que não como os reis de Israel que antes dele haviam sido.

3 Contra este subiu Salmaneser rei dos assírios; e Oseias foi feito seu servo, e pagava-lhe tributo.

4 Mas o rei da Assíria achou que Oseias fazia conspiração: porque havia enviado embaixadores a Sô, rei do Egito, e não pagava tributo ao rei da Assíria, como cada ano: pelo que o rei da Assíria lhe deteve, e lhe aprisionou na casa do cárcere.
