SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:14
y subió Manahem hijo de Gadi, de Tirsa, y vino a Samaria, e hirió a Salum hijo de Jabes en Samaria, y lo mató, y reinó en su lugar.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah , etc.] A city in the tribe of Manasseh, the royal city of the kings of Israel before Omri, of which (see Gill on “ Joshua 12:24”), whether Menahem was of this city, or was now besieging it with an army he had the command of, as Josephus suggests, is not certain; however, hearing what had befallen Zachariah, he came from hence: and came to Samaria; which, according to Bunting f165 , was six miles from Tirzah: and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead ; judging he had as good a right to the throne as Shallum had.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-31 - This history shows Israel in confusion. Though Judah was not withou troubles, yet that kingdom was happy, compared with the state of Israel. The imperfections of true believers are very different from the allowed wickedness of ungodly men. Such is human nature, such are ou hearts, if left to themselves, deceitful above all things, an desperately wicked. We have reason to be thankful for restraints, for being kept out of temptation, and should beg of God to renew a righ spirit within us.
