He ruled around 1133, possibly before, during the reign of his father Aššur-dan I. He ruled ṭupppišu , which is usually translated as "less than a year".

He seems to have ascended the throne with Babylonian help. According to Chronicle P, he returned the statue of Marduk that Tukulti-Ninurta I had stolen from Babylon . His rule is evidenced by numerous documents, including many economic texts.

According to a letter from the Babylonian king ( Itti-Marduk-balāṭu ?), The Assyrian king (presumably Mutakkil-Nusku ) described him as "an unmanly boy." After a short reign he was expelled by his brother Mutakkil-Nusku and fled to Babylonia .
