Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Pul, as it is a specific proper noun related to a historical context within the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: Pul is mentioned in the context of a people or region in the Old Testament, specifically in relation to the Assyrian Empire.

Context: Pul is referenced in the Bible in 1 Chronicles 5:26, where it is associated with the Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser. The passage states: "So the God of Israel stirred the spirit of Pul king of Assyria (that is, Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria), and he took the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into exile." This indicates that Pul may have been an earlier name or title for Tiglath-Pileser III, or it could refer to a region or people under his control. The mention of Pul in this context highlights the geopolitical dynamics of the time, where the Assyrian Empire exerted influence over the northern tribes of Israel, leading to their eventual exile.
