2 Kings 15:13-22

13ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of JabeshH3003 becameH4427 kingH4427 in the 1thirty-ninthH7970H8672 yearH8141 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and he reignedH4427 for 2one monthH3391 in 3SamariaH8111. 14Then MenahemH4505 the sonH1121 of GadiH1424 wentH5927 upH5927 from 4TirzahH8656 and cameH935 to SamariaH8111, and struckH5221 ShallumH7967 sonH1121 of JabeshH3003 in SamariaH8111, and killedH4191 him and becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478. 15Now as for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of ShallumH7967 and his conspiracyH7195 whichH834 he formedH7194, beholdH2009, they are writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478. 16ThenH227 MenahemH4505 attackedH5221 TiphsahH8607 and allH3605 whoH834 were in it and its bordersH1366 from TirzahH8656, becauseH3588 they did not openH6605 upH6605 to him; so he attackedH5221 it and rippedH1234 upH1234 5allH3605 its womenH2030 who were pregnantH2030.

17In the 6thirty-ninthH7970H8672 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, MenahemH4505 the sonH1121 of GadiH1424 becameH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478 and reigned for tenH6235 yearsH8141 in SamariaH8111. 18He didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068; for allH3605 his daysH3117 he did not desistH5493 from the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, into whichH834 he misledH2398 IsraelH3478.

197PulH6322, the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, cameH935 againstH5921 the landH776, and MenahemH4505 gaveH5414 PulH6322 a 8thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 so that his handH3027 might be with him to 9strengthenH2388 the 10kingdomH4467 11under his ruleH3027. 20Then MenahemH4505 collectedH3318 the moneyH3701 from IsraelH3478, from allH3605 the 12mightyH1368 menH1368 of wealthH2428, from eachH259 manH376 fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701 to payH5414 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. So the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 returnedH7725 and did not stayH5975 thereH8033 in the landH776. 21Now as for the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of MenahemH4505 and allH3605 that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the ChroniclesH1697H3117 of the KingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 22And MenahemH4505 13layH7901 downH7901 with his fathersH1, and his sonH1121 PekahiahH6494 becameH4427 kingH4427 inH8478 his placeH8478.
