2 Kings 15:16-22

16Then MenahemH4505 smoteH5221 TiphsahH8607, and all that were therein, and the coastsH1366 thereof from TirzahH8656: because they openedH6605 not to him, therefore he smoteH5221 it; and all the women therein that were with childH2030 he ripped upH1234. 17In the nineH8141H8672 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began MenahemH4505 the sonH1121 of GadiH1424 to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478, and reigned tenH6235 yearsH8141 in SamariaH8111. 18And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068: he departedH5493 not all his daysH3117 from the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398. 19And PulH6322 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 cameH935 against the landH776: and MenahemH4505 gaveH5414 PulH6322 a thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, that his handH3027 might be with him to confirmH2388 the kingdomH4467 in his handH3027. 20And MenahemH4505 exactedH3318 the moneyH3701 of IsraelH3478, even of all the mighty menH1368 of wealthH2428, of eachH259 manH376 fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, to giveH5414 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. So the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 turned backH7725, and stayedH5975 not there in the landH776.1

21And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of MenahemH4505, and all that he didH6213, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH3117H1697 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478? 22And MenahemH4505 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1; and PekahiahH6494 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
