2 Kings 15:17-22 - Menahem Reigns In Israel
17 The thirty ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah, began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign upon Israel, and continued ten years in Samaria. 18 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and turned not all his days from the sin of Jeroboam the son of Nebat which made Israel sin.
19 And Pul, king of Assyria, came upon the land. And Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, to help him to establish his kingdom. 20 And Menahem raised the money in Israel, upon all men of substance, for to give the king of Assyria fifty sicles of silver apiece. And the king of Assyria turned back again and tarried not there in the land.
21 The rest of the deeds of Menahem and all he did, are written in the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel. 22 And when Menahem was laid to rest with his fathers, Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead.
