1 Chronicles 5:6

Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.

Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pilneser ... carried away captive. There appear to have been carryings away of the people of Israel, the first by Pul (1 Chronicles 5:26), the second by Tiglath-pileser (1 Chronicles 5:6; 1 Chronicles 5:26), and the third by Shalmaneser (2 Kings 17:6; 2 Kings 18:11). All these, however, previous to the final downfall of Samaria, were partial deportations, being confined to the inhabitants of the towns and villages which were the objects of Assyrian attack.
