PUL
King of Assyria who invaded Israel during the reign of Manahem, who gave him a thousand talents to confirm him in the kingdom (2 Kings 15:19; 1 Chron. 5:26).
Pul has been identified among the kings of Assyria as Tiglath-pileser II, 745-727 BC. After the conquest of Babylon (729 BC) he had himself inscribed in the list of its kings with the name of Pûlû.
Among the kings who paid tribute around 738 BC, mentioned in the records of Tiglath-pileser, is Manahem of Samaria.
