2 Kings 15:17-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 15
17
In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem the son of Gadi became king over Israel
and reigned
for ten years in Samaria.
18
He did evil in the sight of the
Lord
; for all his days he did not desist from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, into which he misled Israel.
19
Pul, the king of Assyria, came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver so that his hand might be with him to strengthen the kingdom under his rule.
20
Then Menahem collected the money from Israel, from all the mighty men of wealth, from each man fifty 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
as for
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?
King James Version
Chapter 15
17
In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria.
18
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the
Lord
: he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
19
And Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.
20
And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land.
21
And 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?

Chapter 15
17
In the thirty-ninth year of Judah’s King Azariah, Menahem son of Gadi became king over Israel, and he reigned ten years in Samaria.
18
He did what was evil in the
Lord
’s sight. Throughout his reign, he did not turn away from the sins Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.
19
King Pul of Assyria invaded the land, so Menahem gave Pul seventy-five thousand pounds of silver so that Pul would support him to strengthen his grasp on the kingdom.
20
Then Menahem exacted twenty ounces of silver from each of the prominent men of Israel to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria withdrew and did not stay there in the land.
21
The rest of the events of Menahem’s reign, along with all his accomplishments, are written in the Historical Record of Israel’s Kings.
New Living Translation
Chapter 15
17
Menahem son of Gadi began to rule over Israel in the thirty-ninth year of King Uzziah’s reign in Judah. He reigned in Samaria ten years.
18
But Menahem did what was evil in the
Lord
’s sight. During his entire reign, he refused to turn from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had led Israel to commit.
19
Then King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria invaded the land. But Menahem paid him thirty-seven tons of silver to gain his support in tightening his grip on royal power.
20
Menahem extorted the money from the rich of Israel, demanding that each of them pay fifty pieces of silver to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned from attacking Israel and did not stay in the land.
21
The rest of the events in Menahem’s reign and everything he did are recorded in
The Book of the History of the Kings of Israel.
