Menahem’s reign over Yisrael

15:17 Menahem’s reign over Yisrael

Northern kingdom

17In the thirty-ninth year of King Azaryah’s reign over Yehudah, Gadi’s son Menahem became king over Yisrael and he reigned from Shomron (Samaria) for ten years. 18He did what Yahweh had said was evil—he didn’t avoid the kinds of behaviour that had been done by Nebat’s son Yarave’am who had caused Yisrael to sin.

During his reign, 19King Pul (Tiglat-Pileser) of Assyria attacked Israel, and Menahem gave Pul over thirty tonnes of silver, so he would support Menahem’s reign. 20(Menahem had taxed all the wealthy families across Yisraelfifty silver coins per adult male.) As a result, the Assyrian king cancelled his plans to attack and returned home.

21Everything else that Menahem said and did is written in the book of the events of the kings of Yisrael. 22Then Menahem died and was buried, and his son Pekahyah replaced him as king.
