"Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria,.... Which some take to be the same with Tiglathpileser, see Ch1 5:26 but he rather seems to be his son; his name
was to be found, as Josephus (w) relates, in the archives of the Tyrians, against whom he had an expedition; his name is Salmanassar in Metasthenes (x), who says he reigned seventeen years: and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents, to depart from him; he became tributary to him, and agreed to pay him a yearly tax. (w) Antiqu. l. 9. c. 14. sect. 2. (x) De Judicio Temp. fol. 221. 2.
