His grandson, Gimil-Sin, marched to the ranges of the Lebanon and overran the land of Zamzali, which seems to be the Zamzummim of Scripture.
But with Gimil-Sin the strength of the dynasty seems to have come to an end.

Babylonia was given over to the stranger, and a dynasty of kings from southern Arabia fixed its seat at Babylon.

The language they spoke and the names they bore were common to Canaan and the south of Arabia, and sounded strangely in Babylonian ears.

The founder of the dynasty was Sumu-abi, "Shem is my father," a name in which we cannot fail to recognise the Shem of the Old Testament.

His descendants, however, had some difficulty in extending and maintaining their authority.
