2 Kings 15:19
A.M. 3233. B.C. 771. Pul.Prideaux supposes that this Pul was the father of the famous Sardanapalus, who was called Sardan with his father's name Pul annexed, as was frequent in those times, making Sardanpul: thus Merodach, king of Babylon, was Merodach-Baladan, because he was the son Baladan. This Pul began to reign according to Usher, A.M. 3237, the fifth year of Menahem; and he is supposed to be the same that reigned in Nineveh, when Jonah preached in that city. 1Ch 5:25,26; Isa 9:1Menahem.12:18; 16:8; 17:3,4; 18:16; Ho 5:13; 8:9,10; 10:6to confirm.14:5; Jer 17:5
