king of Assyria. He came into the land of Israel in the time of Manahem, king of the ten tribes, 2 Kings 15:19 , &c, and invaded the kingdom on the other side of Jordan. But Manahem, by a present, of one thousand talents of silver, prevailed on the king of Assyria, not only to withdraw his forces, but to recognize his title to the crown of Israel before he left the kingdom. This is the first time that we find any mention made of the kingdom of Assyria since the days of Nimrod; and Pul is the first monarch of that nation who invaded Israel, and began their transportation out of their own country.
