BRAGADAYJAH 1107


BRAGADAYJAH 1107
The death of Ahaz

And in many other ways did Ahaz defile the house and vessels of the Lord; and he died and was buried in the city of David; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead. Now in the seventeenth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea son of Elah began to reign; and he reigned over Israel nine years. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, although not to the extent of the kings before him. And Shalmaneser of Assyria came up against him and Hoshea submitted unto him and gave him presents. And after a while the king of Assyria found out that Hoshea conspired against him for he had secretly sent messengers to the king of Egypt and had sent no presents to the king of Assyria as was the custom. So Shalmaneser shut him up and locked him in prison. Then the king swept through all the land of Israel and went up to Samaria and besieged it for three years. And in the ninth year of Hoshea, Shalmaneser took Israel and carried the people away into Assyria and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan and in the cities of the Medes
