Karib'il I.

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karib'il I. ( Sabaian krbʾl Karibʾil) was a ruler ( Mukarrib ) of the old South Arabian Empire of Saba . Hermann von Wissmann continued his reign around 775 BC. Chr., Kenneth A. Kitchen, however, around 820–810 BC. Chr.

Karib'il I is mentioned twice, in both cases as the father and predecessor of Yada'il Yanuf . However, it is not impossible that Karib'il I. can be identified with the important Mukarrib Karib'il Watar I. , which is considered to be rather unlikely.
