Parallel

2 Kings 15:19

Louis Segond 1910 · Berean Standard Bible

Pul, roi d’Assyrie, vint dans le pays; et Menahem donna à Pul mille talents d’argent, pour qu’il l’aidât à affermir la royauté entre ses mains.
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.
