2 Kings 15:16-22

16ThenH227 MenahemH4505 smote TiphsahH8607, and all that were therein, and its territoryH1366 from TirzahH8656, because they did not openH6605 [to him]; and he smote [it]: all the women in it that were with child he ripped up.

17In the thirty-ninth yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, MenahemH4505 the sonH1121 of GadiH1424 began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478, for tenH6235 yearsH8141, in SamariaH8111.

18And he did evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah: he departedH5493 not, all his daysH3117, from the sinsH2398 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who madeH6213 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.

19PulH6322 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 cameH935 against the landH776; and MenahemH4505 gaveH5414 PulH6322 a thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, that his handH3027 might beH1961 with him to establish the kingdomH4467 in his handH3027.

20And MenahemH4505 exacted the moneyH3701 of IsraelH3478, of all those who were wealthy, of each manH376 fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, to giveH5414 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. And the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 turnedH7725 backH7725, and stayed not there in the landH776.

21And the restH3499 of the acts of MenahemH4505, and all that he did, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chronicles of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478?

22And MenahemH4505 slept with his fathersH1; and PekahiahH6494 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
