Melachim Bais 15:17-19

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁷ In the nine and thirtieth year of Azaryah Melech Yehudah began Menahem Ben Gadi to reign as melech over Yisroel, and reigned ten shanim in Shomron.

¹⁸ And he did that which was rah in the eyes of Hashem; he departed not all his yamim from the chattot Yarov‘am Ben Nevat, who caused Yisroel to commit sin.

¹⁹ And Pul Melech Ashur (Assyria) came against HaAretz and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of kesef, that his yad might be with him [supporting Menahem} to make the Mamlakhah chazakah in his yad.
