Tigelat Pileeser
Tiglath
Tiglath-pileser: the throne name of a prominent king of the Neo-Assyrian Empire (8th century BCE), who reigned during the expansionist period of Assyrian history. The name refers specifically to Tiglath-pileser III, the ruler who interacted with several Israelite and Aramean polities, appearing in biblical historical narratives as the major Assyrian adversary of Israel and Judah. The name is not Hebrew in origin but is a Hebrew transliteration of the Assyrian royal name as encountered in ancient Near Eastern sources. In some biblical texts, the form Tilgath-pilneser appears; both are variations of the same royal title.
