Context — The Half-Tribe of Manasseh
24These were the heads of their families: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were mighty men of valor, famous men, and heads of their families.
25But they were unfaithful to the God of their fathers, and they prostituted themselves with the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.
26So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria (that is, Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria) to take the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into exile. And he brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan, where they remain to this day.

1 Chronicles 5:26 Summary
This verse tells us that God allowed the Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh to be taken into exile by the Assyrians as a consequence of their unfaithfulness to Him (as seen in 1 Chronicles 5:25). This is a reminder that our actions have consequences, and that God is sovereign over all things, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11. Just like the Israelites, we must be careful not to turn away from God and follow after other 'gods', but instead trust in His goodness and faithfulness, as encouraged in Psalm 37:3-4 and Proverbs 3:5-6.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did God allow the Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh to be taken into exile?
God allowed this to happen as a consequence of their unfaithfulness to Him, as seen in 1 Chronicles 5:25, where it is written that they prostituted themselves with the gods of the peoples of the land, which is also warned against in Deuteronomy 8:19 and Joshua 24:20.
Who was Pul king of Assyria, also known as Tiglath-pileser?
Pul king of Assyria, also known as Tiglath-pileser, was a king of the Assyrian Empire, as mentioned in 2 Kings 15:29 and 1 Chronicles 5:26, who played a significant role in the conquest and exile of various nations, including the Israelites.
What does it mean that they were brought to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan?
Being brought to these locations means that the Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh were forcibly relocated by the Assyrians to these areas, which were under Assyrian control, as a result of their exile, similar to what is described in 2 Kings 17:6 and 18:11.
What is the significance of the phrase 'where they remain to this day'?
The phrase 'where they remain to this day' indicates that, at the time of the writing of 1 Chronicles, the descendants of the exiled Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh were still living in the areas to which they had been exiled, highlighting the long-term consequences of their unfaithfulness, as seen in the warnings of Leviticus 26:33 and Deuteronomy 28:64-65.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I may be 'prostituting myself' with the gods of this world, and how can I turn back to faithfulness to God?
- In what ways have I experienced the consequences of my own unfaithfulness to God, and how can I learn from these experiences?
- How can I be more mindful of the fact that my actions have long-term consequences, not just for myself, but for my family and community, as seen in the example of the Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh?
- What does it mean for me to trust in God's sovereignty, even when I do not understand the circumstances of my life, and how can I cultivate this trust in my daily walk with Him?

1 Chronicles 5:26 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.Ver. 26. And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul.] "Howbeit he meant not so, neither was it in his heart to think so," - viz., that God set him on, - "but it was in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few." King of Assyria.] Though the Assyrians took their names from Ashur, son of Shem, yet the kingdom seemeth, saith one, to be raised amongst them by the prosperity of Cush, the son of Ham.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 5:26
(26) Stirred up (or woke) the spirit.—So 2 Chronicles 21:16, and Ezra 1:1; Ezra 1:5. For the thought, Isaiah 44:28; Isaiah 45:1-13. Pul king of Assyria, and . . . Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria.—No trace of Pϋl as distinct from Tiglath-pileser has been found in the Assyrian monuments, which, it must be remembered, are contemporary. In 2 Kings 15:19 we read that, “Pul king of Assyria came against the land,” in the reign of Menahem, who recognised the Assyrian monarch as his suzerain, and paid a tribute of 1,000 talents of silver. Now Tiglath-pileser II. actually claims to have received tribute of Menahem (Menahimmu). Pϋl appears to have been the original name of Tiglath-pileser, which, upon his accession to the throne of Assyria (745 B.C.), he discarded for that of the great king who had ruled the country four centuries before his time. The name Pϋl has been identified by Dr. Schrader with the Porus of Ptolemy’s Canon, Pτr being the Persian pronunciation of Pϋl. The Syriac here omits “Pϋl king of Assyria.” The LXX.
(Vat.) has Χαλαχ, and the Arabic Bγlaq. Perhaps the chronicler meant to indicate the identity of Pϋl and Tiglath: “The spirit of Pul and (= that is) the spirit of Tiglath, and he carried them away.” And he carried them away.—Tiglath-pileser is meant. (See 2 Kings 15:29 : “In the days of Pekah king of Israel, came Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel-beth-maachah . . . and Gilead, and Galilee . . . and carried them captive to Assyria.”) From the Assyrian records we learn that (circ. 734–732 B.C.) Tiglath-pileser received the homage of Ahaz (Yahu-haηi, Jeho-ahaz), king of Judah, slew Rezin (Raηunni) of Damascus, and reduced Pekah (Paqahϊ), king of Samaria, to vassalage. This supplements the Biblical account. Gilead, in 2 Kings 15:29, represents the trans-Jordanic tribes. (See 1 Chronicles 5:10; 1 Chronicles 5:16 above.) The transportation of entire populations was a common practice with the Assyrian kings. Assurbanipal (Sardanapalus) removed the men of Karbit from the mountains east of Assyria, and settled them in Egypt. Brought them unto Halah, and Habor . . .—The same localities are mentioned (2 Kings 17:6) as those to which Shalmaneser IV., or rather his successor Sargon, transported the other tribes of the northern kingdom (circ. 721 B.C.). There is nothing unlikely in the statement of either text. Sargon might have thought fit to strengthen the Israelite settlements in Northern Assyria by sending thither the new bodies of compulsory colonists.
It is arbitrary to suppose that two different events have been confounded by the sacred annalists. Halah.—See Note on 2 Kings 17:6. Habor.—Probably a district of North Assyria, not far from Halah, named after the river Habϋr which rises near the upper Zab and falls into the Tigris. Hara.—Kings, l.c., “cities of Media.” Hara here is perhaps an Aramaic name for the Median high lands, but more probably the reading is a relic of “the mountains of Media” [hβrκ Mβdai); comp.the LXX. at 2 Kings 17:6. The Syriac here has “cities of Media;” the LXX.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 5:26
Verse 26. Tilgath-pilneser] Many MSS. have תגלת Tiglath instead of תלגת Tilgath. The Syriac, the Septuagint, and the Chaldee, have the same reading as in 2Kg 15:29, &c. Brought them unto Halah] See the notes on the parallel places marked in the margin [2Kg 17:6 (note), and 2Kg 18:11 (note)], for many particulars of these wars, and consequent captivity. It is a pity that some method were not found out to harmonize the books of Kings with the books of Chronicles, that the variations might be seen at one view.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 5:26
26. stirred up the spirit] Cp. 2 Chronicles 21:16; 2 Chronicles 36:22. Pul … and … Tilgath-pilneser] Both here and in 2 Kings 15:19; 2 Kings 15:29 (Pul … Tiglath-pileser) the two names are used as though two different persons were meant, but there is no doubt that Pul is the earlier and Tiglath-pileser the royal name of the same king. See note on 1 Chronicles 5:6. unto Halah, etc.] In 2 Kings 15:29 it is said only, to Assyria; in 2 Kings 17:6 it is said that the Western tribes (“Samaria”) were carried away and placed in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan and in the cities of the Medes. Halah] probably a district of Mesopotamia, but it has been proposed to identify it with Cilicia which was known to the Assyrians and was under their influence in the later days of their empire. Habor] a river flowing into the Euphrates from the E., known to the Greeks as Χαβώρας or Ἀβόρρας. and Hara] No place of this name is known; the reading may be corrupt for and in the cities of the Medes (2 Kings 17:6; 2 Kings 18:11). the river Gozan] R.V. the river of Gozan. Gozan was a province of Mesopotamia.
Barnes' Notes on 1 Chronicles 5:26
“Habor” here seems to be a city or a district, and not a river, as in marginal reference There is some reason to believe that districts among the Assyrians were occasionally named from streams.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 5:26
26. Pul — See on 2 Kings 15:19-20. Carried… away — That is, the latter, Tilgath-pilneser, carried them away.
