1599 Geneva Bible
17 The nine and thirtieth year of Azariah King of Judah, began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria.
18 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and departed not all his days from the sin of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin.
19 ¶ Then Pul the king of Assyria came against the [a]land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand [b]talents of silver, that his hand might be with him, and establish the kingdom in his hand.
