2 Kings 15:13-16
New International Version
Shallum King of Israel
13 Shallum son of Jabesh became king in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah, and he reigned in Samaria(A) one month. 14 Then Menahem son of Gadi went from Tirzah(B) up to Samaria. He attacked Shallum son of Jabesh in Samaria, assassinated(C) him and succeeded him as king.
15 The other events of Shallum’s reign, and the conspiracy he led, are written in the book of the annals(D) of the kings of Israel.
16 At that time Menahem, starting out from Tirzah, attacked Tiphsah(E) and everyone in the city and its vicinity, because they refused to open(F) their gates. He sacked Tiphsah and ripped open all the pregnant women.
