 Menahem
    conforting, the son of Gadi, and successor of Shallum, king of
    Israel, whom he slew. After a reign of about ten years (B.C.
    771-760) he died, leaving the throne to his son Pekahiah. His
    reign was one of cruelty and oppression (2 Kings 15:14-22).
    During his reign, Pul (q.v.), king of Assyria, came with a
    powerful force against Israel, but was induced to retire by a
    gift from Menahem of 1,000 talents of silver.

From: Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
