STEPBible TIPNR
Elah is mentioned in 2Ki.15.30, 17:1, and 2Ki.18.1,9 as the father of Hoshea, who became the last king of Israel. Hoshea conspired against King Pekah, killed him, and succeeded him as king, reigning for nine years. During Hoshea's reign, Shalmaneser king of Assyria invaded Israel, and Hoshea became his vassal. However, Hoshea later sought help from Egypt and stopped paying tribute to Assyria, leading to the capture of Samaria and the exile of the Israelites.
