The Hebrew term for God here is "Elohim," which denotes His power and majesty. Historically, this underscores the belief that God is not a distant deity but one who orchestrates events for His purposes, even using foreign kings to fulfill His will.<p><b>stirred the spirit</b><br />The Hebrew word for "stirred" is "ʿûr," which means to awaken or incite. This indicates that God can influence the inner motivations and decisions of individuals, including powerful rulers. It reflects the biblical theme that God can direct the hearts of kings (<a href="/proverbs/21.htm">Proverbs 21:1</a>), demonstrating His ultimate control over human history.<p><b>Pul king of Assyria, that is, Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria</b><br />Pul and Tiglath-pileser are understood to be the same person, with Pul being a throne name. Tiglath-pileser III was a significant Assyrian ruler known for his military campaigns and expansion of the Assyrian Empire. Archaeological records, such as the annals of Tiglath-pileser, corroborate his conquests and interactions with Israel, providing historical context to the biblical narrative.<p><b>and he carried them away</b><br />This phrase refers to the exile of the tribes east of the Jordan River. The Hebrew verb "gālah" means to uncover or remove, often used in the context of exile. This event marks a significant moment of judgment and loss for these tribes, fulfilling prophetic warnings about the consequences of disobedience to God.<p><b>even the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh</b><br />These tribes settled east of the Jordan River and were the first to be exiled due to their vulnerability and distance from the central worship in Jerusalem. Their removal serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of spiritual complacency and the importance of remaining close to God and His covenant community.<p><b>and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and to the river Gozan</b><br />These locations are in the region of Assyria, modern-day northern Iraq. The Assyrian policy of deportation aimed to prevent rebellion by displacing conquered peoples. This relocation fulfilled God's judgment but also set the stage for the eventual return and restoration of Israel, highlighting themes of judgment and hope.<p><b>to this day</b><br />This phrase indicates the enduring impact of the exile at the time of the Chronicler's writing. It serves as a reminder of the lasting consequences of turning away from God, yet also points to the faithfulness of God in preserving a remnant and His promises of restoration.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/1_chronicles/5.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(26) <span class= "bld">Stirred up</span> (or woke) <span class= "bld">the spirit.</span>--So <a href="/2_chronicles/21-16.htm" title="Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians:">2Chronicles 21:16</a>, and <a href="/ezra/1-1.htm" title="Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,">Ezra 1:1</a>; <a href="/ezra/1-5.htm" title="Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem.">Ezra 1:5</a>.

In <a href="/2_kings/15-19.htm" title="And Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.">2Kings 15:19</a> we read that, "Pul king of Assyria came against the land," in the reign of Menahem, who recognised the Assyrian monarch as his suzerain, and paid a tribute of 1,000 talents of silver. Now Tiglath-pileser II. actually claims to have received tribute of Menahem (<span class= "ital">Menahimmu</span>)<span class= "ital">.</span> P-l appears to have been the original name of Tiglath-pileser, which, upon his accession to the throne of Assyria (745 B.C.), he discarded for that of the great king who had ruled the country four centuries before his time. The name P-l has been identified by Dr. Schrader with the Porus of Ptolemy's Canon, <span class= "ital">Por</span> being the Persian pronunciation of P-l. The Syriac here omits "P-l king of Assyria." The LXX. (Vat.) has <span class= "greekheb">?????</span>, and the Arabic <span class= "ital">Balaq.</span> Perhaps the chronicler meant to indicate the identity of P-l and Tiglath: "The spirit of Pul <span class= "ital">and </span>(<span class= "ital">=</span> that is) the spirit of Tiglath, and <span class= "ital">he</span> carried them away." . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_chronicles/5.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 26.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Pul</span> and <span class="cmt_word">Tilgath-pilneser</span>. These two were chosen ministers of God's will, if not ministers of himself. We can identify the date of this punishment which befell the transgressing Israelites east of the Jordan. The visit of the former, in the reign of Menahem (<a href="/2_kings/15-15.htm">2 Kings 15:15-20</a>), may be interpreted and might have operated as a lesson and a warning. He was bought off with a thousand talents of silver. It seems to be said with significance," So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land." It was in the reign of Pekah, the usurping successor of Menahem's son Pekahiah, that the completer punishment fell, and Tilgath-pilneser effected the captivity spoken of here and in <a href="/2_kings/15-27.htm">2 Kings 15:27-29</a>. The name <span class="accented">Pul</span> cannot, it would appear, be a pure Assyrian name, and there is reason to think it may be identified with <span class="accented">Vul-lush</span> (grandson of the Shalmaneser who warred with Benhadad, etc.), a name found on Assyrian monuments, and belonging to a king who reigned at Calah, <span class="date">B.C. 8004750</span> (see art. "Pul," Smith's 'Bible Dictionary'). <span class="accented">Tilqath-pilneser</span> (see notes on ver. 6) was probably the founder of the lower dynasty of Assyria, and first king of the new empire. His first invasion was one chiefly of Israel and Samaria (<a href="/2_kings/15-29.htm">2 Kings 15:29</a>; <a href="/isaiah/9-1.htm">Isaiah 9:1</a>). His second was of a much more significant character. Called in to aid Judah under Ahaz against Pekah of Israel and Rezin of Syria in alliance, he both conquered these latter and brought into vassalage Judah itself (<a href="/2_kings/15-37.htm">2 Kings 15:37</a>; <a href="/2_kings/16-9.htm">2 Kings 16:9, 10</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/28-6.htm">2 Chronicles 28:6-8</a>; <a href="/isaiah/9-1.htm">Isaiah 9:1</a>). <span class="cmt_word">Halah; Habor Hara; Gozan</span>. This enumeration exceeds that of <a href="/2_kings/17-6.htm">2 Kings 17:6</a> by the addition of <span class="accented">Hara</span>, important as helping with consistent witness to the antiquity of the region described. <span class="accented">Halah</span> (<span class="accented">not</span> the "Calah" of <a href="/genesis/10-11.htm">Genesis 10:11</a>) is believed to be identifiable with <span class="accented">Chalcitis</span>, its verbal resemblance to which comes out a little more evidently in its Hebrew form (<span class="hebrew">חֲלַח</span>). A trace of it possibly remains in the name of a hill, <span class="accented">Gla</span>, on the <span class="accented">Khabour</span>, <span class="accented">i.q. Habor</span> of this passage, an important tributary of the Euphrates, and not the "Chebar" of Ezekiel. This name <span class="accented">Khabour</span> is found in an Assyrian inscription dating upwards of eight centuries before Christ. The mention of Habor in <a href="/2_kings/17-6.htm">2 Kings 17:6</a> and 2 Kings 18:11 is, in the Authorized Version, made to convey the impression of a place "by" the "river of Gozan," instead of being, what the Hebrew says, "the river of Gozan." Here, on the other hand, <span class="accented">Gozan</span> is, in the Authorized Version, incorrectly translated as a river itself, instead of the region of a river. It is, according to the testimony of Layard ('Nineveh and Babylon,' pp. 270-312), a remarkably fertile tract, being the <span class="accented">Gauzanitis</span> of Ptolemy, and substantially the Mygdonia of Polybius and Strabo. <span class="accented">Hara</span>; <span class="hebrew">חָרָה</span>, with little doubt, the same as <span class="hebrew">חָרָן</span>, <span class="accented">Haran</span>, or <span class="accented">Charran</span> (<a href="/genesis/11-31.htm">Genesis 11:31</a>), the ancient adopted home of Abraham, in Padan-aram, in Mesopotamia, on the Belik, a small tributary of the Euphrates. It is the Greek <span class="accented">Carrhae</span> of Strabo and Polybius. These four names purport to give us, probably in brief, the information that those of the Captivity here alluded to were divided - some to settle at Halab on one river, some in Hara on another, and the rest in the district called <span class="accented">Gauzanitis.</span> The region called Halah and that called Gau-zanitis, however, were both watered by the Khabour, and therefore the insertion of the name Haran where it is inserted occasions some difficulty. <p> <p> <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_chronicles/5-26.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">So the God</span><br /><span class="heb">אֱלֹהֵ֨י</span> <span class="translit">(’ĕ·lō·hê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
