2 Kings 15:20-22
International Standard Version
20 Menahem exacted the money from all of Israel’s powerful and wealthy men, 50 shekels[a] 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? 22 Then Menahem died, as did[b] his ancestors, and his son Pekahiah reigned in his place.
