Hoshea was the last king of Israel, ruling Samaria for nine years. He initially paid tribute to Assyria but then rebelled, seeking help from Egypt. The Assyrians besieged Samaria for three years and deported Israel's population, scattering the northern tribes and ending the northern kingdom's independence. Hoshea's reign marked the end of Israel as a nation.
