Ashur-rabi II

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ashur-rabi II was one of the longest-reigning kings of Assyria, reigning for 41 years. Little is known about his reign, of which few records survive. He was apparently a younger son of Ashurnasirpal I. Following the reigns of his elder brother, Shalmaneser II, and his nephew Ashur-nirari IV, he became king in 1013 BC, and reigned until his death in 972 BC, when he was succeeded by his son Ashur-resh-ishi II.
