19 Pul[a] king of Assyria invaded the land, so Menahem gave Pul 75,000 pounds[b] of silver so that Pul would support him to strengthen his grip on the kingdom.
20 Then Menahem exacted 20 ounces[c] of silver from each of the wealthy men of Israel to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria withdrew and did not stay there in the land.
