13 Yavesh’s son Shallum became king in the thirty-ninth year of King Azaryah’s reign over Yehudah, but he only reigned from Shomron for one month. 14 Then Gadi’s son Menahem came to Shomron from Tirtsah, and he attacked Yabesh’s son Shallum there in Shomron and killed him, replacing him as king. 15 Everything else that Shallum said,including his assassination plot, is written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel. 16 At that time, Menahem attacked Tifsah and everyone in the city, and its borders from Tirtsah, because they wouldn’t open their gates. Then he ripped open the bellies of all the pregnant women there.
