Question source
1 Chronicles
The chapter reports that the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Assyrian kings who carried away Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh (1 Chronicles 5:26). This exile is linked to their unfaithfulness in the preceding verses (1 Chronicles 5:25–26).
25They trespassed against the God of their fathers, and played the prostitute after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God destroyed before them.
26The God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river of Gozan, to this day.
