Clarke's 2-kings 15:13 Bible Commentary
He reigned a full month - Menahem is supposed to have been one of Zachariah's generals. Hearing of the death of his master, when he was with the troops at Tirzah, he hastened to Samaria, and slew the murderer, and had himself proclaimed in his stead. But, as the people of Tiphsah did not open their gates to him, he took the place by assault; and as the text tells us, practiced the most cruel barbarities, even ripping up the women that were with child!
Wesley's 2-kings 15:13 Bible Commentary
15:13 Full moon - That dominion seldom lasts long, which is founded in blood and falsehood.
