105 Shalmaneser IV Son of Adad-nirari III 782–773 106 Ashur-dan III Son of Adad-nirari III 772–755 107 Ashur-nirari V Son of Adad-nirari III 754–745 108 Tiglath-pileser III Son of Adad-nirari IIIj 744–727 109 Shalmaneser V Son of Tiglath-pileser III 726–722 110 Sargon II Son of Tiglath-pileser III?k 721–705 111 Sennacherib Son of Sargon II 704–681 112 Esarhaddon Son of Sennacherib 680–669 113 Ashurbanipal Son of Esarhaddon 668–627 114 Ashur-etil-ilani Son of Ashurbanipal 626–623? 115 Sin-shum-lishir 116 Sin-shar-ishkun Son of Ashurbanipal 117 Ashur-uballit II 611–609

This list is produced mainly by the sources of the AKL. See Grayson, RLA 6 (1980–1983), 101–115. For the date and the regnal years of the kings see Brinkman, AM, 344–346; Veenhof, OBO 160/5, 29; CA, 58. See also Frahm, CA, 613–616. a Chen, NABU 2019/1, 19–20. b According to Veenhof, the total reign length of Naram-Sin and Erishum II would have been 64 years. See Veenhof, OALYE, 45, n. 77; OBO 160/5, 29. c The father of Shamshi-Adad I was not the Assyrian king (the 25th in this list) with the same name. See Poebel, JNES 1/3 (1942), 274–275, 286–287; Azize, Abr-N 35 (1998), 13–15; Siddall, Or 76 (2007), 368–378. d The number of the regnal years of Ishme-Dagan I in the SDAS was read by Gelb as 50. See Gelb, JNES 13/4 (1954), 213, ii 7’. e The total reign length of the six kings marked with “ṭuppišu” would be no more than one year. See Baker, RA 104 (2010), 158–159. f This Ishme-Dagan is the brother of Sharma-Adad II but not Ishme-Dagan II. See Yamada, ZA 84 (1994), 28, n. 51; Azize, Abr-N 35 (1998), 6. g As for the two consecutive kings, Ashur-rabi I and Ashur-nadin-ahhe I, Poebel believed that neither of them had an official year of his own. See Poebel, JNES 1/3 (1942), 296. However, the number of the combined regal years of the two kings was restored by some scholars as 14 + 15. See Gasche et al., MHEM 4, 54. h Adad-nirari I is the brother of Arik-den-ili according to the KhKL and the SDAS (Gelb, JNES 13/4 [1954], 218, iii 17’; 219, iii 8’), but the son of Arik-den-ili according to the NaKL (Nassouhi, AfO 4 [1927], 7, iii 23’) and his own royal inscriptions (Grayson, RIMA 1, A.0.76.1: 18’). The for- mer must be erroneous. See Poebel, JNES 1/4 (1942), 484; Yamada, EI 27 (2003), 269. i Ili-pada, the king of Hanigalbat and vizier under Ashur-nirari III, was the descendant of Adad-nirari I. j Tiglath-pileser III was the son of Ashur-nirari V according to the SDAS (Gelb, JNES 13/4 [1954], 223, iv 24’), but the son of Adad-nirari III according to his own inscription (Tadmor

and Yamada, RINAP 1, No. 58: 2’). The former is probably incorrect. See Yamada, ZA 84 (1994), 34, n. 78; EI 27 (2003), n. 16. k Vera Chamaza, SAAB 6 (1992), 21–33; Thomas, AOAT 232 (1993), 465–470; Fuchs, RLA 12 (2009), 53; Frahm, CA, 180. However, it was also suggested that Sargon II might have been a usurper, for: 1) Sargon II never mentioned the name of his father in his royal inscriptions, with the only exception that he once claimed to be the son of Tiglath-pileser III; 2) in the “Ashur Charter” (Saggs, Iraq 37/1 [1975], 11–20), Sargon II reprimanded his direct predecessor, Shalmaneser V, for levying corvée on the citizens of Ashur and declared that this was why Shalmaneser V had been discarded and he was installed as the legitimate king by the gods. See Grayson, CAH 3/2, 87. See also Beaulieu, HB, 201.
