13 Shallum son of Jabesh became king in the 1thirty-ninth * year of Uzziah king of Judah, and he reigned one month in 2Samaria.
14 Then Menahem son of Gadi went up from 3Tirzah and came to Samaria, and struck Shallum son of Jabesh in Samaria, and killed him and became king in his place.
15 Now the rest of the acts of Shallum and his conspiracy which he made, behold they are written in the Book of the Chronicles * of the Kings of Israel.
16 Then Menahem struck Tiphsah and all who were in it and its borders from Tirzah, because they did not open to him; therefore he struck it and ripped up 4all its women who were with child.
