Melachim Bais 15:19-21

Orthodox Jewish Bible

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.

²⁰ And Menahem exacted the kesef from Yisroel, even of all the wealthy Gibborim, of each man fifty shekels of kesef, to give to Melech Ashur. So Melech Ashur withdrew and stayed not there in HaAretz.

²¹ And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L’Malkhei Yisroel?
