(meaning "the heir of the Ekur is foremost"), was the son and successor of Tukultī-apil-Ešarra I as king of the Middle Assyrian Empire, reigning for just two years, 1076/5–1074 BC, during the turmoil that engulfed the end of that lengthy reign, and he was the 88th king to appear on the Assyrian King List.

Biography

According to an early reading of the Synchronistic King List, he was a contemporary of the Babylonian king Itti-Marduk-balāṭu, c. 1140–1132 BC, where this monarch had perhaps been relocated to follow Marduk-nādin-aḫḫē, c. 1099-1082 BC. This part of the cuneiform text is now lost or disproven.

There are no royal inscriptions known from his reign and he appears only in later king lists and in an eponym list.KAV 21 iii 13, as [... ]-A-É.KUR. He was succeeded by his brother Aššur-bel-kala, then his nephew Eriba-Adad II, then his other brother Šamši-Adad IV.
