12When the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and the king came near to the altar, and offered on it.
13He burned his burnt offering and his meal offering, poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar.

17In the thirty ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem the son of Gadi began to reign over Israel for ten years in Samaria.
18He 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.
19Pul 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.
20Menahem 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.
21Now 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?
22Menahem slept with his fathers, and Pekahiah his son reigned in his place.

2 Kings 15:19–20 says that Pul the king of Assyria came against the land, that Menahem gave Pul silver, and that the king of Assyria turned back; 15:29 says that in the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria came, took all the land of Naphtali and carried them captive to Assyria. 1 Chronicles 5:26 says that the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria and the spirit of Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria; the Korean Revised Version names no one who carried the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh away, and WEB, after naming both kings, says “and he carried away”. The Korean Revised Version writes 디글랏 빌레셀 in both books, and WEB Tiglath Pileser in 2 Kings and Tilgath Pilneser in 1 Chronicles. This collection records Pul and Tiglath Pileser as two entries, and gives each of them the name 1 Chronicles 5:26 writes. The text does not say whether Pul and Tiglath Pileser are one king, and this collection does not decide whether they are.
