*
In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah king of Judah ,
Menahem the son of Gadi began to reign over Israel , [
and reigned ]
ten years in Samaria .
*
And he did that which was evil in the sight of LORD .
He did not depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat ,
with which he made Israel to sin .
*
The king of Assyria came against the land Pul .
And Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand .
*
And Menahem exacted the money from Israel ,
even of all the mighty men of wealth ,
of each man fifty shekels of silver ,
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 acts of Menahem ,
and all that he did ,
are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel ?
*
And Menahem slept with his fathers ,
and Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead .
