List of Aramean kings

Not to be confused with Armenian kings.

The Syro-Hittite states of the Early Iron Age were partly ruled by Aramean kings. These kingdoms existed throughout the Levant and Mesopotamia during the 14th and 13th centuries BC, before being absorbed by various other empires such as the Neo-Assyrian Empire, Neo-Babylonian Empire and the Achaemenid Empire.^[1][2]

Some royal names are discovered in the Hebrew Bible.

• Kings of Aram Damascus:
  • Hezion
  • Tabrimmon, son of Hezion
  • Ben-Hadad I, son of Tabrimmon
  • Ben-Hadad II or Hadadezer, mentioned in the Tel Dan Stele may be identical to biblical Ben-Hadad II.

  • Ben-Hadad III, son of Hazael
