So the king of Assyria returned and did not stay there in the land. 21Now 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? 22And Menahem lay down with his fathers, and his son Pekahiah became king in his place.King James Version
