Forsooth in the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyrians took Samaria, and translated or brought over Israel into Assyrians; and he put them in Halah, and in Habor, beside the flood [of] Gozan, in the cities of Medes.
Samaria perish, for it stirred his God to bitterness; perish it by sword. The little children of them be hurtled down, and the women with child thereof be carved.
Therefore the Lord God saith these things, The land shall be troubled, and be encompassed; and thy strength shall be drawn down of thee, and thine houses shall be ravished [or robbed].
And thou keptest the behests of Omri, and all the work of the house of Ahab, and hast walked in the lusts of them, that I should give thee into perdition, and men dwelling in it into hissing, either scorning, and ye shall bear the shame of my people.
