See also Put.

PUL pŏŏl (פ֤וּל). 1. A name of the Assyrian king Tiglath-pileser III (745-727 b.c.). It may be that Pul was his original name, and that when he ascended the throne he assumed the name Tiglath-pileser, which had been borne by a great king of the past. He is mentioned in 2 Kings 15:19 and 1 Chronicles 5:26.

2. An African country and people (Isa 66:19, KJV, RSVmg., ASV). It is prob. an error for Put (so RSV).
