Pekah's reign was marked by political instability and idolatry, as he continued the sinful practices of his predecessors. The historical context here is crucial, as it was a time when the Northern Kingdom of Israel was under threat from external forces due to its internal corruption and disobedience to God.Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria Tiglath-pileser III was a powerful and expansionist king of Assyria, reigning from 745 to 727 BC. His campaigns were characterized by military prowess and strategic conquests. The mention of Tiglath-pileser highlights the geopolitical dynamics of the time, where Assyria was emerging as a dominant empire. His involvement in Israel's affairs was a direct consequence of Israel's failure to remain faithful to God, leading to divine judgment through foreign oppression.came and captured The Hebrew root for "captured" is "לָכַד" (lakad), which implies seizing or taking by force. This action signifies the fulfillment of prophetic warnings given to Israel about the consequences of their disobedience. The capture of these territories was not merely a political maneuver but a divine act of judgment, as God used Assyria as an instrument to discipline His people.Ijon, Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee These locations were significant cities and regions in the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Each had its own historical and strategic importance. For instance, Kedesh was a city of refuge, and Hazor was a major Canaanite city. The capture of these areas by Assyria represented a significant loss for Israel, both territorially and spiritually, as it indicated the diminishing influence and protection of the once-united kingdom.all the land of Naphtali Naphtali was one of the tribes of Israel, and its land was located in the northern part of the kingdom. The phrase underscores the extent of Assyrian conquest, as the entire region of Naphtali was overtaken. This loss was a fulfillment of the warnings given by prophets like Isaiah, who spoke of the coming darkness and distress upon the land due to Israel's unfaithfulness.and he took the people to Assyria The deportation of the people to Assyria was a common practice by conquering empires to prevent rebellion and assimilate the conquered peoples. This phrase highlights the severe consequences of Israel's disobedience, as they were uprooted from their homeland and subjected to foreign rule. It serves as a sobering reminder of the cost of turning away from God and the loss of identity and heritage that follows.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/2_kings/15.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 29. - In the days of Pekah Feng of Israel came Tiglath-pileser King of Assyria. Tiglath-pileser's records are not in the shape of annals, and are, moreover, in a very mutilated condition. He does not date events, like most Assyrian kings, by his regal years. His first expedition into Syria is thought, however, to have been in his third year, B.C. 743, but there is no evidence that, on this occasion, he proceeded further south than Damascus, where he took tribute from Rezin. Some years after this - B.C. 738, according to Mr. G. Smith - he penetrated to Palestine, where his chief enemy was Azariah King of Judah, who had united under his sway most of the tribes as far as Hamath. After chastising Azariah, he extended his dominion over most of the neighboring states and kingdoms; and it was at this time that (as related in ver. 19) he took tribute from Menahem. Subsequently (about B.C. 734) he made an expedition for the purpose of conquest, which receives very scant notice, in one inscription only. This is probably the expedition of the present passage. And took Ijon, and Abel-beth-maachah. These were places in the extreme north of the Israelite territory, in the vicinity of the Lake Merem, such as would naturally be among the first to fall before an Assyrian invader (on their exact position, see the comment on 1 Kings 15:20). And Janoah. Janoah is now generally regarded as identical with the modern Hunin, a village close by "an ancient fortress of great strength" (Robinson, 'Later Researches,' p. 371), in the hill country northwest of Merom. It is in a direct line between Abel-beth-maa-chah (Abil) and Kedesh (Cades), as we should expect from the present passage. And Kedesh, and Hazor. Kedesh is beyond all doubt the "Kedes" or "Cades," of today - an important site in the same mountain district, rather more than six miles south of Hunin, and four from the "waters of Merom" (see Robinson, 'Later Researches,' pp. 366, 367). Hazer was in the near neighborhood of Kedesh, towards the south probably. The exact position is disputed. Robinson's arguments in favor of El-Khu reibch are weighty; but the engineers employed by the Palestine Exploration Fund regard Khurbat-Harrah, between Kedesh and the Lake Merom, as a still more probable situation. And Gilead. "Gilead," in this connection, can scarcely be "the whole of the land to the east of the Jordan" (Keil, Bahr) - the territory of Gad, Reuben, and Manasseh, not of Naphtali. It is more likely to be a small district near Merom, perhaps the eastern coast of the lake (Gesenius), which was afterwards a part of Gaulouitis. The LXX., instead of Γαλαὰδ, have Γαλαάν. And Galilee; Hebrew הַגָּלִילָה (see the comment on 1 Kings 9:11, p. 190). The inscription of Tiglath-pileser, which appears to allude to this expedition, mentions "Galhi," and "Abel" (probably Abel-beth-maachah) as conquered at this time, and "added to Assyria." The places were, it says, on the border of the land of Beth-Omri (Samaria) (see the 'Eponym Canon,' p. 123, lines 6, 7). And carried them captive to Assyria. Deportation of captives was largely practiced by Tiglath-pileser, as appears from the 'Eponym Canon,' pp. 118-120, and 122. <a href="/commentaries/2_kings/15-29.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>In the days בִּימֵ֞י (bî·mê) Preposition-b | Noun -
