12:015:010 And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired
against him, and smote
him
before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his
stead.
12:015:011 And the rest of the acts of Zachariah,
behold, they are
written
in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
12:015:012 This was the word of the lord which
he spake unto Jehu,
saying,
Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the
fourth
generation. And so it came to pass.
12:015:013 Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign
in the nine and
thirtieth
year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full
month
in Samaria.
12:015:014 For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from
Tirzah, and came to
Samaria,
and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and
slew
him, and reigned in his stead.
12:015:015 And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and
his conspiracy which
he
made, behold, they are written in the book of the
chronicles
of the kings of Israel.
12:015:016 Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that
were therein, and the
coasts
thereof from Tirzah: because they opened not to
him,
therefore
he smote it; and all the women therein that were
with
child he ripped up.
12:015:017 In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah
king of Judah began
Menahem
the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned ten
years
in Samaria.
12:015:018 And he did that which was evil in the sight
of the lord: he
departed
not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son
of
Nebat,
who made Israel to sin.
12:015:019 And Pul the king of Assyria came against
the land: and Menahem
gave
Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might
be
with
him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.
12:015:020 And Menahem exacted the money of Israel,
even of all the
mighty
men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver,
to
give
to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria
turned
back,
and stayed not there in the land.
12:015:021 And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and
all that he did, are
they
not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings
of
Israel?
12:015:022 And Menahem slept with his fathers; and
Pekahiah his son
reigned
in his stead.
12:015:023 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of
Judah Pekahiah the son
of
Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and
reigned
two
years.
12:015:024 And he did that which was evil in the sight
of the lord: he
departed
not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who
made
Israel to sin.
