  Menahem 
  conforting,  the  son  of  Gadi,  and  successor  of  Shallum,  king  of 
  Israel,  whom  he  slew.  After  a  reign  of  about  ten  years  (B.C. 
  771-760)  he  died,  leaving  the  throne  to  his  son  Pekahiah.  His 
  reign  was  one  of  cruelty  and  oppression  (2  Kings  15:14-22). 
  During  his  reign,  Pul  (q.v.),  king  of  Assyria,  came  with  a 
  powerful  force  against  Israel,  but  was  induced  to  retire  by  a 
  gift  from  Menahem  of  1,000  talents  of  silver.
