King James Translators' Notes

exacted: Heb. caused to come forth

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

15:8-31 This history shows Israel in confusion. Though Judah was not without troubles, yet that kingdom was happy, compared with the state of Israel. The imperfections of true believers are very different from the allowed wickedness of ungodly men. Such is human nature, such are our hearts, if left to themselves, deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked. We have reason to be thankful for restraints, for being kept out of temptation, and should beg of God to renew a right spirit within us.


2 Kings 15:19 Pul, king of Assyria, came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver so that his hand might be with him to strengthen the kingdom under his rule.
2 Kings 15:21 Now the rest of the acts of Menahem and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel? (NASB ©1995)

Menahem 2Ki 23:35

exacted [heb] cause to come forth
the mighty Ru 2:1 2Sa 19:32 Job 1:3

of each man, etc. or, rather, as Bishop Patrick renders, `to give to the king of Assyria fifty shekels of silver for each man,' i.e, in his army. It may be supposed, that Menahem compelled `the mighty men of wealth' to give much more a-piece than this sum, (somewhat about 5l. sterling each) and each of them in some proportion to his affluence
