2 Kings 17:1 YLT

¹  In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah reigned hath Hoshea son of Elah in Samaria, over Israel -- nine years,

²  and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, only, not as the kings of Israel who were before him;

³  against him came up Shalmaneser king of Asshur, and Hoshea is to him a servant, and doth render to him a present.
