Context of 1 Chronicles 5:26

24These were the heads of Manasseh’s families: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were soldiers who were famous heads of their families. 25But Gad, Reuben, and half of the tribe of Manasseh were unfaithful to the God of their ancestors. They chased after the gods of the people of the land as if they were prostitutes. God had destroyed these people as the Israelites arrived. Then the God of Israel led King Pul of Assyria (King Tiglath Pilneser of Assyria) to take Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh into captivity. He brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the Gozan River. They are still there today.

Commentaries on 1 Chronicles 5:26

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 26Tilgath-pilneser - Many MSS. have תגלת Tiglath instead of תלגת Tilgath . The Syriac, the Septuagint, and the Chaldee, have the same reading as in 2 Kings 15:29, etc. Brought them unto Halah - See the notes on 2 Kings 17:6; (note), and 2 Kings 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…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 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. Hara is probably the same as “Haran” Genesis 11:31; 2 Kings 19:12; Ezekiel 27:23, being a softening down of the rugged original “Kharan.”Read the comment

By them the trans-jordanic tribes, including the other half of Manasseh, settled in Galilee, were removed to Upper Media. This was the first captivity (2Ki 15:29).Read the comment
