25 But they were unfaithful to the God of their ancestors. They prostituted themselves(A) with the gods of the nations(a) God had destroyed before them.(B) 26 So the God of Israel put it into the mind of Pul(C) (that is, Tiglath-pileser(b)) king of Assyria to take the Reubenites, Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh into exile. He took them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and Gozan’s river, where they are until today.
