BASIC INFORMATION

Wednesday, February 19, 2014

Menahem did evil in the eyes of the lord and he sinned just like Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin by worshipping false Idols ( 2 Kings 15:18)

Menahem paid tribute to Assyria in Assyria invasion, He was also founder of the dynasty known as the House of Gadi or House of Menahem.

Menahem marched from Tirzah to Samaria, about six miles where Menahem attacked Samaria and took the city. (2 King 15:13)

In a month of his rule he murdered Shallum and set himself upon the throne.(2 Kings 15:13)

He avenged the death of Zecharaiah by killing Shallum.

He later became the king of the Nourthern Isrealite kingdom of Samaria.

He became king of Israel in the thirty nine year of his rule of the reign of Azariah(king of judah). (2 2ings 15:17)

Menahem murdered who ever lived there and who worshiped Shallum even those who were bearing children. (2 Kings 15:16)

He also sacked Tappuah and the people within the territory of the people. He then traveled from Tirzah and so on, but no one welcomed him. So he attacked them and ripped open the stomach of women who were pregnant in that land.

He attacked them because they did not accept him to be king and this caused him to attack Tappuah and other communities surrounding it.

One day Assyria came against Menahem and the land. Menahem gave Pul a thosand talents of silver so that he can keep his rule. (2 Kings 15:19)

Menahem took the money from Israel. The money was from the wealthy men of Israel. Sometime later he took fifty shekels of silver from each man to give to Pul king of assyria. (2 Kings 15:19)

When Menahem gave the king the money the king left from the the land and did not ask anything else from him. (2 Kings 15:19)

But this event started a turning point on if a foreign power should reign over Israel.

Menahem died and his son Pekahiah reigned in his stead (2 Kings 15:22)

In the fifth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem reigned over Israel in Samaria for two years. (2 Kings 15:23)

In Pekahiahs years he continued with calf worship sinning against god like many of the other kings did.

Years later the kings of Israel refused to pay the tribute leaving the city in great depression and destruction.
