Gill's Notes on the Bible
For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah,.... A city in the tribe of Manasseh, the royal city of the kings of Israel before Omri, of which :-, whether Menahem was of this city, or was now besieging it with an army he had the command of, as Josephus r suggests, is not certain; however, hearing what had befallen Zachariah, he came from hence: and came to Samaria; which, according to Bunting s, 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.
r Ut supra. (Antiqu. l. 9. c. 11. sect. 1.) s Travels, &c. p. 169.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Tirzah, the old capital, once more appears as a place of importance, giving birth to the pretender, who alone of all these later kings died a natural death, and left the crown to his son 2 Kings 15:22. It would seem from the present passage to have been on lower ground than Samaria.
