^7 (A)So Ahaz sent messengers to ^(B)Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and rescue me from the hand of the king of Syria and from the hand of the king of Israel, who are attacking me.”

⁶ Beerah his son, whom ^(A)Tiglath-pileser^[a] king of Assyria carried away into exile; he was a chief of the Reubenites.

²⁶ So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of ^(A)Pul king of Assyria, the spirit of ^(B)Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and he took them into exile, namely, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them ^(C)to Halah, ^(D)Habor, Hara, and ^(E)the river Gozan, to this day.

²⁰ So ^(A)Tiglath-pileser^[a] king of Assyria came against him and afflicted him instead of strengthening him.
