Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria came

on 2 Kings 15:29-31

Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria came and captured Ijon, Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, and he took the people as captives to Assyria. This is the empire's first captivity taken out of the land, whereas Pul's visit had cost tribute alone, and it reaches its end at 17:6.

the rest of the acts of Pekah

2 Chronicles 28:6 records one of those acts, a battle in which Pekah killed a hundred and twenty thousand men of Judah in a day. Albert Barnes pointed ahead to 16:5, where Pekah and Rezin besiege Jerusalem. Ahaz held the city.
