And Menahem son of Gadi from Tirzah, will go up, and will come to Shomeron and strike Shallum son of Jabesh, in Shomeron, and kill him, and reign in his stead.

Then Menahem will strike Tiphsah and all which was in her, and her bounds from Tirzah: for it was not opened, and he will strike; all those being pregnant in it he clave asunder.

In the thirtieth year and ninth year to Azariah king of Judah, reigned Menahem son of Gadi, over Israel, ten years in Shomeron.

Pul, king of Assyria came upon the land; and Menahem will give to Pul a thousand talents of silver, for his hands to be with him to strengthen the kingdom in his hand.

And Menahem will bring forth the silver upon Israel, upon all the mighty of strength, to give to the king of Assyria fifty shekels of silver to one man. And the king of Assyria turned back and stood not there in the land.

And the rest of the words of Menahem and all which he did, are they not written upon the book of the words of the days to the kings of Israel?

In the year the fiftieth year to Azariah king of Judah, reigned Pekahiah son of Menahem over Israel in Shomeron, two years.
