Šamsi (Old Arabic: Šamši; Akkadian: 𒊓𒄠𒋛, romanized: Sâmsi) was an Arab queen who reigned in the Ancient Near East, in the 8th century BCE. She succeeded Queen Zabibe (Arabic meaning "Raisin").[1] Tiglath-Pileser III, son of Ashur-nirari V[2] and king of Assyria, was the first foreign ruler to bring the Arabs under his control.[3][4] When Šamsi rebelled against him by joining an alliance forged by Rakhianu of Damascus, Pileser attacked and defeated Samsi, made her and her alliance partners surrender, and pay a tribute to remain in power.[4][5] She ruled for 20 years and her successor was Queen Iatie, in about 700 BC.[6]
