And Hoshea the son or Elab made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead,.... Did by him as he had done by Pekahiah, Kg2 15:28, this was measure for measure, as the Jews say: and this he did

Nothing more is known of Menahem the son of Gadi, since he certainly cannot be identical with the prince of the same name who is mentioned as "Menahem of Samaria" in the inscriptions of Sennacherib ("Eponym Canon," p. 132, line 17). This second Menahem is probably a descendant of the first, who was allowed a sort of titular sovereignty ever the conquered town.
