About

The final king of the northern kingdom of Israel (2 Kings 17). He came to power by assassinating King Pekah. He did evil but 'not as the kings of Israel who were before him.' He stopped paying tribute to Assyria and tried to ally with Egypt instead, which backfired catastrophically. Assyria besieged Samaria for three years, captured it, and deported the population. End of the northern kingdom.
