9And he did evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah, according as his fathersH1 had done: he departedH5493 not from the sinsH2398 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who madeH6213 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.

10And ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of JabeshH3003 conspired against him, and smote him before the peopleH5971, and slew him, and reignedH4427 in his stead.

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.
