2 Kings 15:18-20

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁸ And he did evil in the sight of the LORD. And for all his days, he did not depart from the sin of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin.

¹⁹ Then 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 and establish the kingdom in his hand.

²⁰ And Menahem exacted the money in Israel, so that all men of substance would give the king of Assyria fifty shekels of silver a piece. So, the king of Assyria returned and did not stay there in the land.
