Adad-šuma-iddina
Adad-šuma-iddina (pronounced Adad-schuma-iddina ; in Sumerograms : d IM-MU-SUM-na), is the 31st ruler of the Kassite dynasty of Babylon according to King List A and ruled for six years. He was the successor of Kadašman-Ḫarbe II and the predecessor of Adad-šuma-usur . There is no evidence of a relationship with Kadašman-Ḫarbe II or the family of Kaštiliaš . He was deposed by a Babylonian revolt and replaced by a son of Kaštiliaš IV.
According to Chronicle P, an Elamite invasion took place under Kidin-Ḫutran III. instead of. Adad-šuma-iddina was perhaps just an Assyrian puppet under Tukulti-Ninurta I , but later Babylonian rulers recognize him as legitimate. It is unclear whether the Babylonians want to downplay the extent of Assyrian rule here or, conversely, the Assyrians inappropriately emphasize their power.
