The Tribe of Naphtali and Tiglath-Pileser III (Pul)
In 1873, British Explorer Sir Austen Henry Layard discovered Tiglath Pileser's palace at Nimrud (ancient Kalhu) near the city of Mosul in north-eastern Iraq. He discovered multiple inscriptions that were summary statements of Tiglath Pileser III’s accomplishments. One of which mentions the Israelite House of Omri, and the land of the Tribe of Naphtali.
One of the sections read: “…Israel (Bit Hu-um-ri-a, or the "House of Omri") and the wide land of Naphtali, in its entire extent, I united with Assyria." It corresponds directly with the Biblical account:
2 Kings 15:29
In the days of King Pekah of Israel, King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria came and captured…Hazor and Gilead and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he deported the inhabitants to Assyria.
