Menahem — personal name meaning 'comforter'; king of the northern kingdom of Israel (2 Kings 15)
A Hebrew proper name meaning 'comforter' or 'one who consoles,' derived from the root נחם (nacham, 'to comfort'). Menahem son of Gadi seized the throne of Israel by assassinating Shallum and reigned for ten years in Samaria (2 Kings 15:14-23). His rule was marked by brutal suppression of opposition and heavy tribute paid to Assyria's Tiglath-Pileser III. The Greek Septuagint renders it Μαναημ (Manaem), preserving the guttural he.
