*
Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the thirty-ninth year of Uzzi '
ah king of Judah ,
and he reigned one month in Sama '
ria .
*
Then Men '
ahem the son of Gadi came up from Tirzah and came to Sama '
ria ,
and he struck down Shallum the son of Jabesh in Sama '
ria and slew him ,
and reigned in his stead .
*
Now the rest of the deeds of Shallum ,
and the conspiracy which he made ,
behold ,
they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel .
*
At that time Men '
ahem sacked Tappuah and all who were in it and its territory from Tirzah on ;
because they did not open it to him ,
therefore he sacked it ,
and he ripped up all the women in it who were with child .
*
In the thirty-ninth year of Azari '
ah king of Judah Men '
ahem the son of Gadi began to reign over Israel ,
and he reigned ten years in Sama '
ria .
*
And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD ;
he did not depart all his days from all the sins of Jerobo '
am the son of Nebat ,
which he made Israel to sin .
*
Pul the king of Assyria came against the land ;
and Men '
ahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver ,
that he might help him to confirm his hold of the royal power .
*
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 .
*
Now the rest of the deeds of Men '
ahem ,
and all that he did ,
are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel ?
*
And Men '
ahem slept with his fathers ,
and Pekahi '
ah his son reigned in his stead .
