Shamshi-Adad
He was contemporary of Shamshi-Adad I, the future king of the Kingdom of Upper Mesopotamia.[3] Shamshi-Adad was apparently ousted from his city by Naram-Sin which led to a brief exile in Babylon.
Military campaigns
He continued the expansion of Eshnunna begun by his father, Ipiq-Adad II. He raided the Khabur triangle up to Ašnakkum.[4]
An inscription praying for the king's peace was found in Kythira.[5]
