am 3233, bc 771

Pul: Prideaux supposes that this Pul was the father of the famous Sardanapalus, who was called Sardan with his father's name Pul annexed, as was frequent in those times, making Sardanpul: thus Merodach, king of Babylon, was Merodach-Baladan, because he was the son Baladan. This Pul began to reign according to Usher, am 3237, the fifth year of Menahem; and he is supposed to be the same that reigned in Nineveh, when Jonah preached in that city. 1 Chronicles 5:25-26; Isaiah 9:1

Menahem: 2 Kings 12:18, 2 Kings 16:8, 2 Kings 17:3-4, 2 Kings 18:16; Hosea 5:13, Hosea 8:9-10, Hosea 10:6

to confirm: 2 Kings 14:5; Jeremiah 17:5
