Verse 23 is found in chapter 15 of 2 Kings. Shallum reigns for only one month before being assassinated by Menahem. Menahem violently suppresses resistance at Tiphsah and then faces the threat of Pul, king of Assyria. To purchase his support, he demands money from the people and pays a substantial tribute. His reign shows the combination of internal violence and external dependence characterizing Israel’s final phase. Royal power becomes increasingly precarious: rulers need extraordinary resources to sustain themselves and must acknowledge the growing influence of the Assyrian empire.
