Yada'il II

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yada'il II ( Sabaean ydʿʾl Yadaʿʾil) was a ruler ( Mukarrib ) of the ancient South Arabian Empire of Saba . Hermann von Wissmann continued his reign around 474 BC. Chr. He was probably the successor to Karib'il IV.

Yada'il seems to have ruled alone only for a short time: only in the “ Great Family Tree ” and a single additional inscription, namely the private dedicatory inscription Gl 519, he is mentioned without a co-regent. On numerous other private inscriptions he always appears with his co-regents Yitha'amar II and later Karib'il V. Yada'il II seems to have died at about the same time as Yitha'amar II, since Yitha'amar and Karib'il never died V. appear together without Yada'il II.
