PUL
1. Name given to Tiglath-pileser, the Assyrian ruler (745–727 BC), when he became king of Babylon (729–727 BC; 2 Kgs 15:19; 1 Chr 5:26). The meaning of the name is unknown, and Assyrian manuscripts do not mention it, suggesting to some scholars that Pul was Tiglath-pileser’s original name. See Tiglath-pileser.
2. African people mentioned only in Isaiah 66:19 (KJB). Their connection with Tarshish and Lud has strongly suggested that Pul is a copyist’s error for Put (as in various Greek manuscripts), a people related to the Egyptians and possibly a subculture of Libyans. See Put (Place).
