ગુજરાતી2 રાજાઓ ૧૫:૨૦
મનાહેમે આશ્શૂરના રાજા પૂલને ચાંદી આપવા માટે ઇઝરાયલ પાસેથી, એટલે દરેક ધનવાન માણસ પાસેથી પચાસ શેકેલ ચાંદી જબરદસ્તીથી પડાવી. તેથી આશ્શૂરનો રાજા ત્યાંથી પાછો ફર્યો અને તે દેશમાં રહ્યો નહિ.
हिन्दी2 राजाओं १५:२०
यह चाँदी अश्शूर के राजा को देने के लिये मनहेम ने बड़े-बड़े धनवान इस्राएलियों से ले ली, एक-एक पुरुष को पचास-पचास शेकेल चाँदी देनी पड़ी; तब अश्शूर का राजा देश को छोड़कर लौट गया।
