They trespassed against the God of their fathers, and played the prostitute after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God destroyed before them.
"Pul, and Tilgath-pilneser"  (1 Chronicles 5:6,26).  The name of this ruler is given as Tiglath-pileser in  2 Kings 15:29.  The variation in name could have come about by different pronunciations in diverse languages, or by difficulties some copyist might have found in copying it!  If the latter had anything to do with it, this writer can identify with the problem; because copying all of these names has been indeed a painstaking and difficult assignment!  "Pul and Tilgath-pilneser are the same man, Pul being his personal name which he retained as king of Babylon, and Tiglath-pileser his throne name as king of Assyria."[2]
