1. King of Assyria who invaded Israel in the reign of Menahem, who gave him 1,000 talents of silver to confirm the kingdom to him. 2 Kings 15:19; 1 Chronicles 5:26 . Pul has not been identified among the kings of Assyria. There was one named Pulu, who took the name of Tiglath-pileser 2 B.C. 745-727, and some have supposed that this king was Pul; but these dates do not agree with scripture, and in 1 Chronicles 5:26 , Pul is mentioned as a distinct king from Tiglath-pileser. Besides, Pulu reigned only 18 years, whereas the events recorded of Pul in 2 Kings 15:19 were 31 years earlier than those concerning Tiglath-pileser in 2 Kings 15:29 . Rawlinson supposes Pul to be identical with a king called on the monuments Vul-lush or Iva-lush.

2. A district or people to whom tidings will be sent of Jehovah's fame and glory as seen upon the earth in a future day. Isaiah 66:19 . The LXX read PHUD, which has led to the thought that Phut may have been in the original. Phut is associated with Lud in Ezekiel 27:10 . See PHUT.
