So in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken. 11 The king of Assyria carried Israel into exile to Assyria, and he settled them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. 12 This happened because they did not obey the voice of the LORD their God but violated His covenant—all that Moses, the servant of the LORD, had commanded. They neither listened nor carried it out. 13 In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah's reign, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all the fortified cities of Judah and captured them. 14 King Hezekiah of Judah sent this message to the king of Assyria at Lachish: "I have done wrong. Withdraw from me, and I will pay whatever you demand." So the king of Assyria imposed on Hezekiah king of Judah a tribute of three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold. 15 So Hezekiah gave all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the king's house. 16 At that time, Hezekiah stripped the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD and from the doorposts that he had overlaid and gave it to the king of Assyria.
