2 Kings 15
This chapter records a dark, unstable period in the Northern Kingdom of Israel with rapid succession and violence, marking the beginning of its decline. Zechariah, the last king of Jehu's line, is assassinated by Shallum, who reigns for only one month before being assassinated by Menahem. Menahem cruelly sacks the town of Tiphsah and, unable to fight off the rising power of Assyria, pays the Assyrian king, Pul, a massive tribute of one thousand talents of silver to secure his throne. The chapter concludes with more wicked kings in both Israel and Judah.
