Tilgath-pilneser is the Chronicler's spelling of Tiglath-pileser, the Assyrian king who first cuts into Israelite territory under Pekah and then answers Ahaz's appeal by crushing Damascus and converting Judah into an Assyrian tributary. Chronicles uses this form when re-telling the Trans-Jordan deportation of the Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh and when naming the Reubenite prince carried away with them.
