King living at the time of Divided Monarchy

Tiglath-pileser, also known as Pul, was an Assyrian king who conquered parts of Israel and received tribute from King Menahem.

• An Assyrian king living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Ki.15.19;
• referred to as Tiglath-pileser תִּגְלַת פִּלְאֶסֶר, or "great" (KJV= Jareb) יָרֵב, or Pul פּוּל.

Tiglath-pileser, also referred to as "the great" or "Pul," was a powerful Assyrian king who reigned from 745 to 727 BC. He is mentioned in several passages in the Old Testament (2 Kings 15:19,29; 16:7,10; 1 Chronicles 5:6,26; 2 Chronicles 28:20; Hosea 5:13; 10:6). Tiglath-pileser's reign marked the beginning of the Neo-Assyrian Empire's expansion and dominance in the ancient Near East. He is known for his military conquests and political reforms. In the biblical account, Tiglath-pileser received tribute from King Menahem of Israel (2 Kings 15:19) and later conquered parts of Israel, including Gilead, Galilee, and Naphtali, deporting the inhabitants to Assyria (2 Kings 15:29; 1 Chronicles 5:26). King Ahaz of Judah sought Tiglath-pileser's help against the kings of Israel and Syria, but this alliance ultimately led to Judah's subjugation and religious compromises (2 Kings 16:7-10; 2 Chronicles 28:20). The prophet Hosea denounced Israel's reliance on Assyria, symbolized by Tiglath-pileser, as futile and contrary to trust in God (Hosea 5:13; 10:6). Tiglath-pileser's reign marked a significant turning point in the history of Israel and Judah, as the Assyrian Empire's expansion posed an increasing threat to their sovereignty and independence.
