આશ્શૂરના રાજા પૂલે દેશ પર આક્રમણ કર્યુ. મનાહેમે પોતાના હાથમાં ઇઝરાયલનું રાજ મજબૂત કરવા માટે પૂલને પોતાના પક્ષનો કરી લેવા તેને એક હજાર તાલંત ચાંદી આપી.
हिन्दी2 राजाओं १५:१९
अश्शूर के राजा पूल ने देश पर चढ़ाई की, और मनहेम ने उसको हजार किक्कार चाँदी इस इच्छा से दी, कि वह उसका सहायक होकर राज्य को उसके हाथ में स्थिर रखे।

In context

17In the thirty ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem the son of Gadi began to reign over Israel for ten years in Samaria.

18He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He didn’t depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.

19Pul the king of Assyria came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.

20Menahem exacted the money from Israel, even from all the mighty men of wealth, from each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and didn’t stay there in the land.

21Now the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
