 Well, the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hosea. He went, instead of just sitting there paying his taxes and having a good life, he sent messengers to the king of Egypt and stopped paying his taxes to the king of Assyria as he had done year by year. He thought, well, the Egyptians will protect me from the Assyria. Maybe they'll offer me a better deal. So the king of Assyria came and took him and shut him up in prison.
