2 Kungaboken 15:19

Pol, Assyriens kung, kom över landet och Menachem gav Pol 1 000 talenter [34 ton] silver så att hans hand skulle vara stark (fast, säker, tapper) med honom till att befästa kungariket i hans hand.

And Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.
