Menahem:
"And Jehoiakimª gaveª ° the silverª and the goldª to Pharaoh;ª but¹ he taxedª °¹ the landª to giveª °¹ the moneyª according¹ to the commandmentª of Pharaoh:ª he exactedª °¹ the silverª and the goldª of¹ the peopleª of the land,ª of every oneª according to his taxation,ª to giveª ° [it] unto Pharaohnechoh.ª" {2Kg 23:35}

exacted:
Heb. caused to come forth

the mighty:
"And Naomiª had a kinsmanª °² ° of her husband's,ª a mightyª manª of wealth,ª of the familyª ¹ of Elimelech;ª and his nameª [was] Boaz.ª" {Rth 2:1} + "Now Barzillaiª was a veryª agedª ° man, [even] fourscoreª yearsª old:ª and he¹ had provided¹ the kingª of sustenanceª ° while he layª at Mahanaim;ª for¹ he¹ [was] a veryª greatª man.ª" {2Sm 19:32} + "His substanceª also was¹ sevenª thousandª sheep,ª and threeª thousandª camels,ª and fiveª hundredª yokeª of oxen,ª and fiveª hundredª she asses,ª and a veryª greatª household;ª so that this¹ manª was¹ the greatestª of all¹ ¹ the menª of the east.ª" {Job 1:3}

of each man:
etc. Or, rather, as Bishop Patrick renders, "to give to the king of Assyria fifty shekels of silver for each man," i.e., in his army. It may be supposed, that Menahem compelled "the mighty men of wealth" to give much more a-piece than this sum (somewhat about 5�. sterling each) and each of them in some proportion to his affluence.

stayed not:
"In the daysª of Pekahª kingª of Israelª cameª ° Tiglathpileserª kingª of Assyria,ª and tookª °¹ Ijon,ª and Abelbethmaachah,ª and Janoah,ª and Kedesh,ª and Hazor,ª and Gilead,ª and Galilee,ª all¹ the landª of Naphtali,ª and carried them captiveª ° to Assyria.ª" {2Kg 15:29} + "Against¹ him came upª ° Shalmaneserª kingª of Assyria;ª and Hosheaª became¹ his servant,ª and gaveª ° him presents.ª ... And the kingª of Assyriaª foundª ° conspiracyª in Hoshea:ª for he had sentª ° messengersª to¹ Soª kingª of Egypt,ª and broughtª ° no¹ presentª to the kingª of Assyria,ª as [he had done] yearª by year:ª therefore the kingª of Assyriaª shut him up,ª ° and boundª ° him in prison.ª ª" {2Kg 17:3-4} + "And Hezekiahª kingª of Judahª sentª ° to¹ the kingª of Assyriaª to Lachish,ª saying,ª ° I have offended;ª ° returnª ° from¹ ¹ me:¹ that which¹ thou puttestª ° on¹ me will I bear.ª ° And the kingª of Assyriaª appointedª ° unto¹ Hezekiahª kingª of Judahª threeª hundredª talentsª of silverª and thirtyª talentsª of gold.ª ... And the kingª of Assyriaª sentª °¹ Tartanª and Rabsarisª and Rabshakehª from¹ Lachishª to¹ kingª Hezekiahª with a greatª hostª against Jerusalem.ª And they went upª ° and cameª ° to Jerusalem.ª And when they were come up,ª ° they cameª ° and stoodª ° by the conduitª of the upperª pool,ª which¹ [is] in the highwayª of the fuller'sª ° field.ª" {2Kg 18:14-17}
