19 King Pul+ of As·syrʹi·a came into the land, and Menʹa·hem gave Pul 1,000 talents* of silver in return for his support in strengthening his hold on the kingdom.+

4 Their names were O·hoʹlah,* the older one, and her sister O·holʹi·bah.* They became mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. As for their names, O·hoʹlah is Sa·marʹi·a,+ and O·holʹi·bah is Jerusalem.

5 “O·hoʹlah began to prostitute herself+ while she belonged to me. She lusted after her passionate lovers,+ her neighbors the As·syrʹi·ans.+
