Por eso el Dios de Israel hizo que el rey Pul de Asiria (también conocido como Tiglat-pileser) invadiera la tierra y se llevara cautivos a la tribu de Rubén, a la tribu de Gad y a la media tribu de Manasés. Los asirios los desterraron y los llevaron a Halah, a Habor, a Hara y al río Gozán, donde se encuentran hasta el día de hoy.
