14 Menahem, fils de Gadi, monta de Thirtsa et vint à Samarie, frappa dans Samarie Schallum, fils de Jabesch, et le fit mourir; et il régna à sa place.

15 Le reste des actions de Schallum, et la conspiration qu’il forma, cela est écrit dans le livre des Chroniques des rois d’Israël.

16 Alors Menahem frappa Thiphsach et tous ceux qui y étaient, avec son territoire depuis Thirtsa; il la frappa parce qu’elle n’avait pas ouvert ses portes, et il fendit le ventre de toutes les femmes enceintes.

17 La trente-neuvième année d’Azaria, roi de Juda, Menahem, fils de Gadi, régna sur Israël. Il régna dix ans à Samarie.

18 Il fit ce qui est mal aux yeux de l’Éternel; il ne se détourna point, tant qu’il vécut, des péchés de Jéroboam, fils de Nebath, qui avait fait pécher Israël.
