19 King Pul[a](A) of Assyria invaded the land, so Menahem gave Pul seventy-five thousand pounds[b] of silver so that Pul would support him to strengthen his grasp on the kingdom.(B) 20 Then Menahem exacted twenty ounces[c] 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.(C)

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.
