📚 Contexto Histórico
This event occurred around 738 BC during the reign of Menahem, king of Israel. Pul (also known as Tiglath-Pileser III) was expanding the Assyrian Empire westward, and many smaller kingdoms like Israel faced the choice of either fighting or paying tribute. A thousand talents of silver was an enormous sum - likely equivalent to several years' worth of the kingdom's entire tax revenue.
