2 Kings 15:19-20
Easy-to-Read Version

19 King Pul of Assyria came to fight against Israel. Menahem gave Pul 75,000 pounds[a] of silver so that Pul would support him and help him gain complete control of the kingdom. 20 Menahem raised the money by making all the rich and powerful men pay taxes. He taxed each man 20 ounces[b] of silver and gave the money to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria left and did not stay there in Israel.
