Commentators emphasize that Tiglath-Pileser is a well-documented figure in Assyrian history (reigning 745-727 B.C.). Assyrian records even describe this specific campaign against northern Israel, confirming the biblical account of the conquest and deportation. This provides strong external evidence for the historical reliability of the Bible.
