2 Kings 15:20 in Context — 2 Kings 15

18 E hizo lo malo en ojos de Jehová: no se apartó en todo su tiempo de los pecados de Jeroboam hijo de Nabat, el que hizo pecar á Israel.

19 Y vino Phul rey de Asiria á la tierra; y dió Manahem á Phul mil talentos de plata porque le ayudara á confirmarse en el reino.

20 E impuso Manahem este dinero sobre Israel, sobre todos los poderosos y opulentos: de cada uno cincuenta siclos de plata, para dar al rey de Asiria, y el rey de Asiria se volvió, y no se detuvo allí en la tierra.

21 Lo demás de los hechos de Manahem, y todas las cosas que hizo, ¿no está escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel?

22 Y durmió Manahem con sus padres, y reinó en su lugar Pekaía su hijo.
