📚 Contexto Histórico
During the time of the divided kingdom of Israel and Judah, the northern kingdom of Israel was ruled by a series of unstable kings amid constant threats from expanding empires like Assyria. Menahem seized the throne through assassination and faced immediate pressure from Pul, the Assyrian king (likely Tiglath-Pileser III), who invaded to exert influence. This event highlights the geopolitical tensions of the 8th century BC, where smaller nations often paid tribute to avoid conquest and maintain their rulers' authority.
