Yada'il Bayyin II (Saba)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yada'il Bayyin II. ( Sabaean ydʿʾl byn Yadaʿʾil Bayyin), son of Yitha'amar Watar II. , Was a ruler ( Mukarrib ) of the ancient South Arabian empire of Saba . Hermann von Wissmann continued his rule around 394 BC. BC, Kenneth A. Kitchen, however, around 440-425 BC. Chr.

Yada'il Bayyin II left a short building inscription from Sirwah , apparently referring to a fortification , and he also renewed the walling of the cities of Naschq and probably also Marib . Under his rule or shortly before, the Sabaean vassal Qataban rose against Saba, which is why Yada'il Bayyin began a long war that was under Yitha'amar Watar III. ended with the victory of Qataban. His son and successor was Sumuhu'ali Yanuf III.
