MENAHEM'S REIGN. (Kg2 15:17-21)
reigned ten years in Samaria--His government was conducted on the religious policy of his predecessors. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| Reign of Menahem. - Menahem's reign lasted ten full years (see at Kg2 15:23), and resembled that of his predecessors in its attitude towards God. In Kg2 15:18, the expression כּל־ימיו (all his days) is a very strange one, inasmuch as no such definition of time occurs in connection with the usual formula, either in this chapter (cf. Kg2 15:24 and Kg2 15:28) or elsewhere (cf. Kg2 3:3; Kg2 10:31; Kg2 13:2, Kg2 13:11, etc.). The lxx have instead of this, ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ (in his days). If we compare Kg2 15:29, בּא פּקח בּימי (in the days of Pekah came, etc.), בּא בּימיו might possibly be regarded as the original reading, from which a copyist's error בּא כּל־מיו arose, after which כּל־ימיו was connected with the preceding clause. |

18 And he did [06213] that which was evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068]: he departed [05493] not all his days [03117] from the sins [02403] of Jeroboam [03379] the son [01121] of Nebat [05028], who made Israel [03478] to sin [02398].
19 And Pul [06322] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] came [0935] against the land [0776]: and Menahem [04505] gave [05414] Pul [06322] a thousand [0505] talents [03603] of silver [03701], that his hand [03027] might be with him to confirm [02388] the kingdom [04467] in his hand [03027].
