17In the nineH8672 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of AzariahH5838 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 began MenahemH4505 the sonH1121 of GadiH1424 to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478, and reignedH4427 tenH6235 yearsH8141 in SamariaH8111.

18And he didH6213 that whichH834 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: he departedH5493 notH3808 allH3605 his daysH3117 from the sinsH2398 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, wherewith he madeH6213 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.

19There cameH935 againstH5921 the landH776 PulH6322 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804; and MenahemH4505 gaveH5414 PulH6322 a thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, that his handH3027 might be with him to confirm the kingdomH4467 in his handH3027.

20And MenahemH4505 exactedH3318 the moneyH3701 of IsraelH3478, evenH3808 of allH3605 the mightyH1368 menH376 of wealthH2428, of eachH376 manH376 fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, to giveH5414 to the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804. SoH5414 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 turnedH7725 backH7725, and stayedH5975 notH3808 there in the landH776.
