Then Menahem
<04505>

smote
<05221> (8686)

Tiphsah
<08607>_,

and all that [were] therein, and the coasts
<01366>

thereof from Tirzah
<08656>_:

because they opened
<06605> (8804)

not [to him], therefore he smote
<05221> (8686)

[it; and] all the women therein that were with child
<02030>

he ripped up
<01234> (8765)_.

In the nine
<08672> <08141>

and thirtieth
<07970>

year
<08141>

of Azariah
<05838>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

began Menahem
<04505>

the son
<01121>

of Gadi
<01424>

to reign
<04427> (8804)

over Israel
<03478>_,

[and reigned] ten
<06235>

years
<08141>

in Samaria
<08111>_.

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

he departed
<05493> (8804)

not all his days
<03117>

from the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

who made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_.

[And] Pul
<06322>

the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

came
<0935> (8804)

against the land
<0776>_:

and Menahem
<04505>

gave
<05414> (8799)

Pul
<06322>

a thousand
<0505>

talents
<03603>

of silver
<03701>_,

that his hand
<03027>

might be with him to confirm
<02388> (8687)

the kingdom
<04467>

in his hand
<03027>_.

And Menahem
<04505>

exacted
<03318> (8686)

the money
<03701>

of Israel
<03478>_,

[even] of all the mighty men
<01368>

of wealth
<02428>_,

of each
<0259>

man
<0376>

fifty
<02572>

shekels
<08255>

of silver
<03701>_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

to the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_.

So the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

turned back
<07725> (8799)_,

and stayed
<05975> (8804)

not there in the land
<0776>_.

In the days
<03117>

of Pekah
<06492>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

came
<0935> (8804)

Tiglathpileser
<08407>

king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

Ijon
<05859>_,

and Abelbethmaachah
<062>_,

and Janoah
<03239>_,

and Kedesh
<06943>_,

and Hazor
<02674>_,

and Gilead
<01568>_,

and Galilee
<01551>_,

all the land
<0776>

of Naphtali
<05321>_,

and carried them captive
<01540> (8686)

to Assyria
<0804>_.
