2 Re 15:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 15:14

For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah
A city in the tribe of Manasseh, the royal city of the kings of Israel before Omri, of which (See Gill on Joshua 12:24), whether Menahem was of this city, or was now besieging it with an army he had the command of, as Josephus F18 suggests, is not certain; however, hearing what had befallen Zachariah, he came from hence: and came to Samaria; which, according to Bunting F19, was six miles from Tirzah:

and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and
reigned in his stead;
judging he had as good a right to the throne as Shallum had.

2 Re 15:14 In-Context

12 Così si avverò la parola che l’Eterno avea detta a Jehu: "I tuoi figliuoli sederanno sul trono d’Israele fino alla quarta generazione". E così avvenne.
13 Shallum, figliuolo di Jabesh, cominciò a regnare l’anno trentanovesimo di Uzzia re di Giuda, e regnò un mese a Samaria.
14 E Menahem, figliuolo di Gadi, salì da Tirtsa e venne a Samaria; colpì in Samaria Shallum, figliuolo di Jabesh, l’uccise, e regnò in luogo suo.
15 Il rimanente delle azioni di Shallum, e la congiura ch’egli ordì, sono cose scritte nel libro delle Cronache dei re d’Israele.
16 Allora Menahem, partito da Tirtsa, colpì Tifsah, tutto quello che ci si trovava, e il suo territorio; la colpì, perch’essa non gli aveva aperte le sue porte; e tutte le donne che ci si trovavano incinte, le fece sventrare.
