Aššur-nērārī II, inscribed m*aš-šur-*ERIM.GABA (=DÁḪ), "(the god) Aššur is my help," was the king of Assyria, the 68th to appear on the Assyrian Kinglist, ca. 1424–1418 BC or 1414–1408 BC depending on a later uncertainty in the chronology, at the tail end of the Old Assyrian period. The state of Assyria was to a degree under the domination of the Mitanni empire at this time and still recovering from their sacking of the city under Šauštatar.

Biography

He was the son of Enlil-nāṣir II, who had preceded him on the Assyrian throne. According to the Khorsabad Kinglist**Khorsabad Kinglist, tablet IM 60017 (excavation nos.: DS 828, DS 32-54), iii 3. he reigned for seven years, the corresponding columns on the Nassouhi and SDAS Kinglists are damaged at this point. A legal textKAJ 174. from Aššur is dated to the “Eponym of Ber-nādin-aḫḫe, son of Aššur-nērārī, supreme judge” and anotherKAJ 8. gives the witness “Šamaš-kidinnu, son of Ibaši-ilu, son of Ber-nādin-aḫḫe, supreme judge.” The title and genealogy suggest Ber-nādin-aḫḫe may have been an otherwise unattested successor to Aššur-nērārī.

He was succeeded by his son, Aššur-bēl-nišešu.
