Portuguese NTLH (Nova Tradução na Linguagem de Hoje)
Por isso, Deus fez com que Pul, rei da Assíria, que também era conhecido como Tiglate-Pileser, invadisse a terra deles. Ele levou embora as tribos de Rúben, de Gade e de Manassés do Leste e as fez morar nas cidades de Hala, Habor e Hara e na beira do rio Gozã, onde estão até hoje.
O que isso significa?
This verse explains that God influenced the kings of Assyria to capture and relocate the tribes of Reubenites, Gadites, and half of Manasseh to different places far from their homeland. The relocation happened to punish them for their disobedience.
Explicado para crianças
Imagine God was like a parent who wanted to teach his children a lesson. He told the kings of Assyria to take some of the tribes far away, just like a parent might send a child to a timeout to think about their actions.
