2 Kings 15:18, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Menahem had taken Israel's throne by murdering Shallum, and this verse gives the verdict on his ten year reign in Samaria. The writer judges every northern king by one standard: the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, the first king of the breakaway northern kingdom, who set up golden calves at Dan and Bethel so the people would not worship in Jerusalem.
