History
Tiglath-Pileser III was a prominent king of Assyria in the 8th century BC and is widely regarded as the founder of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. He is considered one of the most successful military commanders in world history, conquering most of the world known to the ancient Assyrians before his death.

The name Tiglath-Pileser was a throne-name - that is, one given to the king on his accession to the throne, rather than a name given at birth. In translation, it means "my confidence is the son of Esharra." It is given in several different forms in historical records. The Bible records him as Tiglath Pileser and the much-abbreviated Pul (1 Chronicles 5:26 and 2 Kings 15:19,20). This latter resembles the name he took for his coronation as King of Babylon, Pul.
