Parallel
2 Kings 15:19
World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible
Pul 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.
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.
