2 Kings 5:5
taking <03947> [and took.]
<03027> [with him. Heb. in his hand. ten talents of silver.]
This, at 353œ. 11s. 10«d. the talent, would amount to 3,535œ. 18s. 9d.
six thousand <0505 08337> [six thousand.]
If shekels are meant, as the Arabic reads, then this, at 1Å“. 16s. 5d. each, will amount to 10,925Å“.; and the whole to 14,464Å“. 18s. 9d.: besides the value of the ten changes of raiment.
ten ........... ten suits <06235 02487> [ten changes.]

Menahem <04505> [Menahem.]
got <03318> [exacted. Heb. caused to come forth. the mighty.]
each one <0259 0376> [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 5Å“. sterling each) and each of them in some proportion to his affluence.
stay ..... land <05975 0776> [stayed not.]
