Aššur-nirari II.

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aššur-nirari II. ( Aššur-nārāri , Ashur-nirari , Assur-nirari ) was a Middle Assyrian king who ruled for seven years. According to the Assyrian King List he was the son of Enlil-nāṣir II , according to a deed of gift (KAJ 177) the son of Aššur-rabi I. Gasche et al. (1996, 55) assume that Enlil-nāṣir II and Aššur-nādin-ahhe I , whom he had deposed, were his brothers.
