First, in plain English
Menahem took this town and treated it savagely. The other Tipsah is the Euphrates crossing at the far edge of Solomon's reach.
Who this is
Tipsah marked the northeastern limit of Solomon's dominion, a crossing point on the Euphrates identified with the Greek Thapsacus, an important ford on the river's trade routes (1 Kings 5:4). Centuries later it was sacked by Menahem, king of Israel, when he seized the throne, because its people had refused to open their gates to him (2 Kings 15:16).
