2 Kings 15:18-20

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁸ He did evil in the eyes of the Lord. All his days he did not turn from the sins which Jeroboam son of Nebat caused Israel to commit. ¹⁹ Pul^[a] king of Assyria came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents^[b] of silver for supporting him and strengthening his hold over the kingdom. ²⁰ Menahem exacted the silver from Israel, from every wealthy man—fifty shekels^[c] from each man—to give to the king of Assyria. Then the king of Assyria left. He did not remain in the land.
