2 Kings 15:17-19

New American Standard Bible 1995

Menahem over Israel

¹⁷ In the ^(A)thirty-ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem son of Gadi became king over Israel and reigned ten years in Samaria. ¹⁸ He did evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which he made Israel sin.

^19 (B)Pul, king of Assyria, came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver so that his hand might be with him to ^(C)strengthen the kingdom ^[a]under his rule.
