SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:29
En los días de Peka rey de Israel, vino Tiglat-pileser rey de los Asirios, y tomó a Ijón, Abel-bet-maaca, y Janoa, y Cedes, y Hazor, y Galaad, y Galilea, y toda la tierra de Neftalí; y los trasportó a Asiria.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 15:29
Verse 29. Came Tiglath-pileser] He is supposed to have been the successor of Sardanapalus: Dean Prideaux makes him the same with Arbaces, called by AElian Thilgamus, and by Usher Ninus junior; who, together with Belesis, headed the conspiracy against Sardanapalus, and fixed his seat at Nineveh, the ancient residence of the Assyrian kings; as did Belesis, who is called, in Isa. xxxix. 1, Baladan, fix his at Babylon. Took Ijon] These places belonged to Israel; and were taken by Ben-hadad, king of Syria, when he was in league with Asa, king of Judah. See 1 Kings xv. 20. They were regained by Jeroboam the second; and now they are taken from Israel once more by Tiglath-pileser. From 1 Chron. v. 26, we learn that Pul and Tiglath-pileser, kings of Assyria, carried away into captivity the two tribes of Reuben, and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh; all that belonged to Israel, on the other side of Jordan. These were never restored to Israel.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 29. In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser king of Assyria , etc.] Into the land of Israel; he is called by a Jewish chronologer f174 , Pul-Asir; so Phul-Assar by Metasthenes f175 , who says he reigned twenty five years; he very probably was the son of Pul the Assyrian king, mentioned ( 2 Kings 15:19), and is thought to be the same that Aelianus calls Tilgamos; some think he had the first part of his name from Diglath, or Diglito, by which the river Tigris is called in Pliny f177 , with which Assyria was washed; and that Pil, or Pul, is Baal, Bel, Jupiter, and Azar is Mars f178 ; of all which his name is composed: and took Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah ; of which (see 1 Kings 15:20), and Janoah ; a city in the tribe of Ephraim, ( Joshua 16:6) and Kedesh, and Hazor ; cities in Naphtali: ( Joshua 19:36,37) and Gilead ; a country beyond Jordan, which belonged to the Reubenites, Gadites, and half tribe of Manasseh: and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali ; that is, upper Galilee, which lay in Naphtali: and carried them captive to Assyria ; which was the first captivity of Israel in which half their tribes were carried away.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-31 - This history shows Israel in confusion. Though Judah was not withou troubles, yet that kingdom was happy, compared with the state of Israel. The imperfections of true believers are very different from the allowed wickedness of ungodly men. Such is human nature, such are ou hearts, if left to themselves, deceitful above all things, an desperately wicked. We have reason to be thankful for restraints, for being kept out of temptation, and should beg of God to renew a righ spirit within us.
