2 Reis 15:29 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 15:29

In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser king
of Assyria
Into the land of Israel; he is called by a Jewish chronologer ^F3, Pul-Asir; so Phul-Assar by Metasthenes ^F4, 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 ^F5 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 ^F6, with which Assyria was washed; and that Pil, or Pul, is Baal, Bel, Jupiter, and Azar is Mars ^F7; 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 Joshua 19:37 )

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.

2 Reis 15:29 In-Context

27 No ano cinqüenta e dois de Azarias, rei de Judá, Peca, filho de Remalias, começou a reinar sobre Israel, em Samária, e reinou vinte anos.

28 E fez o que era mau aos olhos do Senhor; nunca se apartou dos pecados de Jeroboão, filho de Nebate, com os quais ele fizera Israel pecar.

29 Nos dias de Peca, rei de Israel, veio Tiglate-Pileser rei da Assíria e tomou Ijom, Abel-Bete-Maacá, Janoa, Quedes, Hazor, Gileade e Galiléia, toda a terra de Naftali; e levou cativos os habitantes para a Assiria.

30 E Oséias, filho de Elá, conspirou contra Peca, filho de Remalias, o feriu e matou, e reinou em seu lugar, no vigésimo ano de Jotão, filho de Uzias.

31 Ora, o restante dos atos de Peca, e tudo quanto fez, estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Israel.
