In the days of King Pekah of Israel, King Tiglath Pileser of Assyria took Ijon, Abel Beth Maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, Galilee, and the entire territory of Naphtali. He also took the people away to Assyria as captives.
About the tribe of Naphtali he said, “The people of Naphtali enjoy the Lord’s favor and are filled with the Lord’s blessings. They will take possession of the lake and the land south of it.”
