Parallel
2 Kings 15:20
Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
And Manaem raised the silver [by a tax] upon Israel, even on every mighty man in wealth, to give to the king of the Assyrians, fifty shekels [levied] on each man; and the king of the Assyrians departed, and remained not there in the land.
Menahem exacted this money from each of the wealthy men of Israel—fifty shekels of silver (note: 50 shekels is approximately 1.26 pounds or 569.8 grams of silver.) from each man—to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria withdrew and did not remain in the land.
