Tiglath-Pileser IV

Tiglath-Pileser IV was one of the Kings of Assyria, more often known as Tiglath-Pileser III.[1]

The confusion may stem from his being known in the Books of Chronicles as Tilgath-Pilneser (1 Chronicles 5:6, 26; 2 Chronicles 28:20), and also by the name Pul (1 Chronicles 5:26 and 2 Kings 15:19). Pul may have been his throne name, or his earlier name,[2] but the Chronicler appears to treat the names as belonging to separate people.[3]
