John Gill Commentary 1 Chronicles 5:26

"And the 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 unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river of Gozan, unto this day." — 1 Chronicles 5:26 (ASV)

And the God of Israel The Targum is, ``the word of the God of Israel:'' stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria: in the times of Menahem king of Israel.

and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser; in the times of Pekah king of Israel, to invade the land, and make war in it.

and he carried them away: not the former, but the latter: even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh; these entirely together, with some other parts of the land, see (2 Kings 15:29).

and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan; to the very same places where afterwards Salmaneser carried the ten tribes, or what remained of them, see (2 Kings 17:6).

unto this day; the times of Ezra, the writer of this book, after the tribe of Judah returned from the captivity of Babylon; but the ten tribes remained where they were carried, and have not returned even to this day.
