Menahem was made a tributary by Tiglath-pileser III of Assyria, who helped him to gain his throne. The book of Kings represents him unfavorably. His son, Pekahiah, succeeded him. Menahem pays off Assyrian king to avoid Israel. [O.T.: II Kings 15:20] See : Bribery Menahem murders Shallum and enthrones himself.
