2 Kings 15:19-21
Legacy Standard Bible
19 (A)Pul, king of Assyria, came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul one thousand [a]talents of silver so that his hand might be with him to (B)strengthen the kingdom in his hand. 20 Then Menahem exacted the money from Israel, even from all the mighty men of valor, from each man fifty [b]shekels of silver to pay the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria returned and did not stay there in the land. 21 Now the rest of the acts of Menahem and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
