2 Kings 15:19-20

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁹ Pul the king of Assyria came against the land; and Men′ahem gave Pul^[a] a thousand talents of silver, that he might help him to confirm his hold of the royal power. ²⁰ Men′ahem exacted the money from Israel, that is, from all the wealthy men, fifty shekels of silver from every man, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and did not stay there in the land.
