There came against the land Pul the king of Assyria; and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.
Walifikela ilizwe uPuli, ukumkani waseAsiriya; uMenahem wamnika uPuli iwaka leetalente zesilivere, ukuze izandla zakhe zibe ngakuye, ukuze abuqinise ubukumkani esandleni sakhe.
