Marduk-balassu-iqbi
King of Babylon / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marduk-balāssu-iqbi, inscribed mdAMAR.UTU-TI-su-iq-bi[i 2] or mdSID-TI-zu-DUG4,[i 3] meaning "Marduk has promised his life,"[1]: 205 was the 8th king of the Dynasty of E of Babylon; he was the successor of his father Marduk-zākir-šumi I, and was the 4th and final generation of Nabû-šuma-ukin I's family to reign. He was contemporary with his father's former ally, Šamši-Adad V of Assyria, who may have been his brother-in-law, who was possibly married to his (Marduk's) sister Šammu-ramat, the legendary Semiramis, and who was to become his nemesis.
