Sesudah itu majulah Menahem bin Gadi dari Tirza, lalu sampai ke Samaria. Ia membunuh Salum bin Yabesh di Samaria, kemudian menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
karena Menahim bin Gadipun berangkat dari Tirza, serta sampailah ia ke Samaria ditikamnya Salum bin Yabesy, dibunuhnya akan dia di Samaria, lalu ia naik raja akan gantinya.

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.
