A.M. 3233.
B.C. 771.
Pul.Prideaux supposes that this Pul was the father of the famous Sardanapalus, who was called Sardan with his father's name Pul annexed, as was frequent in those times, making Sardanpul: thus Merodach, king of Babylon, was Merodach-Baladan, because he was the son Baladan.
This Pul began to reign according to Usher, A.M. 3237, the fifth year of Menahem; and he is supposed to be the same that reigned in Nineveh, when Jonah preached in that city.
1 Chron. 5:25‑26• 25And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.

2 Kings 12:18• 18And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold found in the treasures of the house of Jehovah and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria; and he went away from Jerusalem.

• This is the first king of Assyria whose name is mentioned in biblical history. This personage has occasioned much debate among critics, who seem to agree now to consider him identical with Tiglath-Pileser, one of the greatest and best-known among the Assyrian monarchs (2 Kings 15:29; 16:7; etc.). In keeping simply to the letter of Scripture, we shall rather be led to see in Pul, king of Assyria, a distinct person, according to what is told us in 1 Chronicle 5:26. (“Shallum and Menahem, Kings of Israel: 2 Kings 15:13-22” by H.L. Rossier)
• Hosea mentions the fact that is before us now: Ephraim went “to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb; but he was unable to heal you, nor hath he removed your sore” (Hos. 5:13). This king Jareb may well be none other than Pul. His name means, “He who contests:" doubtless an allusion to the combative power of the Assyrian, whom Israel thought to appease. (“Shallum and Menahem, Kings of Israel: 2 Kings 15:13-22” by H.L. Rossier)
