Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible (1898)
SO, the king of Egypt, mentioned once in the Bible, 2 Kgs 17:4; probably identical with Sevechus, the second king of the twenty-fifth dynasty. He reigned ten or twelve years. Hosea made an alliance with him after Israel had become the vassal of Assyria. The discovery of this led to the imprisonment of Hosea and the captivity of the ten tribes.
