2 Kings 15:17-19
International Standard Version
17 In the thirty-ninth year of the reign of[a] Azariah, king of Judah, Gadi’s son Menahem began a ten-year reign over Israel from Samaria. 18 He did what the Lord considered to be evil by never abandoning the sins of Nebat’s son Jeroboam, who caused Israel to sin, as long as he lived.
19 Later on, King Pul of Aram attacked the land, and Menahem paid Pul 1,000 silver talents[b] so Pul[c] would join forces with Menahem[d] to secure his hold on the kingdom.
