Menahem: Kg2 23:35 exacted: Heb. caused to come forth the mighty: Rut 2:1; Sa2 19:32; 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: Kg2 15:29, Kg2 17:3, Kg2 17:4, Kg2 18:14-17 4 Kings (2 Kings) 15:21
