2Ki 15:14 | King James | For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Tirzah, the old capital, once more appears as a place of importance, giving birth to the pretender, who alone of all these later kings died a natural death, and left the crown to his son Kg2 15:22. It would seem from the present passage to have been on lower ground than Samaria. |
