Melachim Bais 15:22 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 15:22

And Menahem slept with his fathers
Died a natural death, and in peace, though an usurper and a tyrant:

and Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead;
the kingdom he had usurped continued in his family.

Melachim Bais 15:22 In-Context

20 And Menahem exacted the kesef from Yisroel, even of all the wealthy Gibborim, of each man fifty shekels of kesef, to give to Melech Ashur. So Melech Ashur withdrew and stayed not there in HaAretz.

21 And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, are they not written in the Sefer Divrei HaYamim L’Malkhei Yisroel?

22 And Menahem slept with his avot; and Pekachyah bno reigned as melech in his place.

23 In the fiftieth year of Azaryah Melech Yehudah, Pekachyah Ben Menahem began to reign as melech over Yisroel in Shomron, and reigned two shanim.

24 And he did that which was rah in the eyes of Hashem; he departed not from the chattot Yarov‘am Ben Nevat, who caused Yisroel to commit sin.
