But the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and sent up no present to the king of Assyria as he had done from year to year. And the king of Assyria shut him up and bound him in prison.

In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;

For they are gone up to Assyria as a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.

Yea, it shall be carried unto Assyria as a present for king Jareb: Ephraim shall be seized with shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
