_BSB:
Menahem exacted this money from each of the wealthy men of Israel—fifty shekels of silver from each man—to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria withdrew and did not remain in the land.
_Hebrew:
וַיֹּצֵא֩ מְנַחֵ֨ם אֶת־ הַכֶּ֜סֶף עַל־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל עַ֚ל כָּל־ גִּבּוֹרֵ֣י הַחַ֔יִל לָתֵת֙ לְמֶ֣לֶךְ אַשּׁ֔וּר חֲמִשִּׁ֧ים שְׁקָלִ֛ים כֶּ֖סֶף לְאִ֣ישׁ אֶחָ֑ד וַיָּ֙שָׁב֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ אַשּׁ֔וּר וְלֹא־ עָ֥מַד שָׁ֖ם בָּאָֽרֶץ׃
