Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Assyrian inscriptions show that Menahem was subsequently redfaced to subjection by Tiglath-Pileser 2-Kings 15:29.

Are they not written in - the chronicles - There are no chronicles extant, in which there is any thing farther relative to this king.

And the rest of the acts of Menahem,.... We are referred to the same book of chronicles for them as for those of the rest of the kings, which seems to be a form the historian uses of them all.
