Aššur-nādin-apli was the son and successor of Tukultī-Ninurta after he was imprisoned and murdered by his son Aššur-naṣir-pal. Kar-Tukulti-Ninurta was abandoned and they returned to the old capital, Aššur . According to the synchronistic king list, his contemporary in Babylon was Kaštiliaš IV. However, due to the strong dating deviations, doubts are appropriate.

The Central Assyrian Empire experienced a crisis after its first high point under Tukultī-Ninurta and was reduced to the heartland. After three years, Aššur-nārārī III followed. on Aššur-nadin-apli.
