Parallel

2 Kings 15:19

Rahlfs Septuagint (1935) · Berean Standard Bible

ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ἀνέβη Φουλ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ Μαναημ ἔδωκεν τῷ Φουλ χίλια τάλαντα ἀργυρίου εἶναι τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ
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.
