Contextual Overview
1In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah became king over Israel in Samaria, and reigned for nine years. 2He did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel who came before him. 3Shalmaneser [V] king of Assyria came up against him, and Hoshea became his servant and paid him tribute (money). 4But the king of Assyria discovered a conspiracy in Hoshea, who sent messengers to So, king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year; therefore the king of Assyria arrested him and bound him in prison. 5Then the king of Assyria invaded all the land [of Israel] and went up to Samaria and besieged it for three years.6In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria and carried [the people of] Israel into exile to Assyria, and settled them in Halah and in Habor, by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land,.... Of Israel, there being none to oppose his march; Hoshea not daring to come out, and meet him and fight him:
and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years; so long the city held out against him, see 2 Kings 18:9.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
All the land - The second invasion of Shalmaneser (723 B.C., his fifth year), is here contrasted with the first, as extending to the whole country, whereas the first had afflicted only a part.
Three years - From the fourth to the sixth of Hezekiah, and from the seventh to the ninth of Heshea; two years, therefore, according to our reckoning, but three, according to that of the Hebrews. This was a long time for so small a place to resist the Assyrians but Samaria was favorably situated on a steep hill; probably Sabaco made some attempts to relieve his vassal; the war with Tyre must have distracted Shalmaneser; and there is reason to believe that before the capture was effected a revolt had broken out at Nineveh which must have claimed Shalmaneser’s chief attention, though it did not induce him to abandon his enterprise.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 17:5. Besieged it three years. — It must have been well fortified, well provisioned, and well defended, to have held out so long.
