Shalmaneser king of Assyria besieges Samaria, and at the end of three years Samaria is taken

앗수르 왕 살만에셀이 사마리아를 에워싸고 삼년 후에 사마리아가 함락됨

2 Kings 18:9–12: the text says, “In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it. At the end of three years they took it. In the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken. The king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes, because they didn’t obey the LORD their God’s voice, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear it or do it.” Where WEB reads “they took it” (18:10), the Korean Revised Version reads 그 성이 함락되니, the city fell; and where WEB reads “on the Habor, the river of Gozan” (18:11), it reads 고산 하볼 하숫가, by the river Habor of Gozan.
