Then Pul king of Assyria invaded the land, and Menahem gave him a thousand talents of silver to gain his support and strengthen his own hold on the kingdom.
20 indixitque Manahem argentum super Israhel cunctis potentibus et divitibus ut daret regi Assyriorum quinquaginta siclos argenti per singulos reversusque est rex Assyriorum et non est moratus in terra

Menahem exacted this money from Israel. Every wealthy person had to contribute fifty shekels of silver to be given to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria withdrew and stayed in the land no longer.
