Parallel
2 Kings 15:19
Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible
There came against the land Pul the king of Assyria; and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.
Then Pul (note: Pul is another name for Tiglath-pileser; see verse 29.) king of Assyria invaded the land, and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver (note: 1,000 talents is approximately 37.7 tons or 34.2 metric tons of silver.) in order to gain his support and strengthen his own grip on the kingdom.
