2 Kings 15:19-21

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁹ King Pul^[a](A) of Assyria invaded the land, so Menahem gave Pul seventy-five thousand pounds^[b] of silver so that Pul would support him to strengthen his grasp on the kingdom.^{(B) 20} Then Menahem exacted twenty ounces^[c] of silver from each of the prominent men of Israel to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria withdrew and did not stay there in the land.^(C)

²¹ The rest of the events of Menahem’s reign, along with all his accomplishments, are written in the Historical Record of Israel’s Kings.
