2 Kings 15:19-21

International Standard Version

¹⁹ Later on, King Pul of Aram attacked the land, and Menahem paid Pul 1,000 silver talents^[a] so Pul^[b] would join forces with Menahem^[c] to secure his hold on the kingdom. ²⁰ Menahem exacted the money from all of Israel’s powerful and wealthy men, 50 shekels^[d] from each, to pay the king of Aram. As a result, the king of Aram retreated and did not remain there in the land. ²¹ The rest of Menahem’s activities, including everything that he did, are recorded in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel, are they not?
