Menahem the son of Gadi reigns over Israel and gives Pul the king of Assyria one thousand talents of silver
가디의 아들 므나헴이 이스라엘 왕이 되고 앗수르 왕 불에게 은 일천 달란트를 줌
2 Kings 15:17–22: the text says, “In the thirty ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem the son of Gadi began to reign over Israel for ten years in Samaria. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He didn’t depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. Pul the king of Assyria came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand. Menahem exacted the money from Israel, even from all the mighty men of wealth, from each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and didn’t stay there in the land. Now the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?” Menahem sleeps with his fathers, and Pekahiah his son reigns in his place. The Korean Revised Version names no one at 15:18 and 15:20, where WEB says “He” and “Menahem”, and reads 15:19 저로 자기를 도와주게 함으로 나라를 자기 손에 굳게 세우고자 하여, that he might help him, to establish the kingdom firmly in his own hand.
