    Description

    Who was Hoshea?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Hoshea was the nineteenth and last king of the northern kingdom of Israel. He came to power after conspiring against and killing his predecessor, King Pekah, in the twentieth year of Jotham, king of Judah (2Ki.15.30).

    Hoshea reigned over Israel for nine years, from around 732 to 722 BC (2Ki.17.1). During his reign, the Assyrian king Shalmaneser attacked Israel, and Hoshea became his vassal, paying him tribute (2Ki.17.3).

    However, Hoshea later rebelled against Assyria by sending messengers to So, the king of Egypt, seeking help and refusing to pay tribute to Shalmaneser (2Ki.17.4). In response, the Assyrian king imprisoned Hoshea and besieged Samaria for three years (2Ki.17.4-5).

    In the ninth year of Hoshea's reign, the Assyrians captured Samaria and deported the Israelites to Assyria (2Ki.17.6). This event marked the end of the northern kingdom of Israel and the beginning of the Assyrian exile.

    The fall of Samaria and the exile of the Israelites occurred during the reign of Hezekiah, king of Judah (2Ki.18.1, 9-10). The biblical narrative attributes the downfall of Israel to their persistent sin and disobedience to God, despite the warnings of the prophets (2Ki.17.7-23).

    Hoshea's reign and the fall of Samaria are significant events in the history of Israel, demonstrating the consequences of turning away from God and the fulfillment of prophetic warnings about judgment and exile.

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

    How the graph connects Hoshea10 of 13 entities the graph connects to Hoshea, in 3 groups: kinship 1, company 2, events 7. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour.
