Hosea 12:1
1 Ephraim feeds on the wind
and pursues the east wind all day long;
they multiply falsehood and violence;
dthey make a covenant with Assyria,
and oil is carried to Egypt.
2 Kings 17:4
4 But the king of Assyria found treachery in Hoshea, for he had sent messengers to So, king of uEgypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. Therefore the king of Assyria shut him up and bound him in prison.
