Early Israel and the Surrounding Nations

CHAPTER VII
77/171

Kodomannos 336 Conquered by Alexander the Great 330 [Footnote 12: The first date is that of a chronological tablet compiled in the reign of Ammi-zadok; the second that of the Dynastic Tablet compiled probably in the reign of Nabonidos.

In the latter the reigns of illegitimate kings, Pungun-ilu, Immerum, and Eri-Aku, seem to be included in those of the legitimate rulers of the dynasty.

Immerum, the son of Lilium, was a contemporary of Sumu-la-ilu, and perhaps, like Nur-Rimmon and Sin-idinnam in the time of Sin-muballidh and Khammurabi, was vassal king of Larsa in southern Babylonia.] [Footnote 13: The date is probably from 15 to 20 years too high.] [Footnote 14: The position of this Kuri-galzu is not certain.

One of the Kuri-galzus calls himself "son of Burna-buryas," but since Nabonidos states that a Burna-buryas reigned 700 years after Khammurabi, it is possible that among the eight (or in this ease nine) unknown Kassite kings there was a Burna-buryas I., B.C.1640, whose son was Kuri-galzu I.] [Footnote 15: As Sennacherib makes Merodach-nadin-akhi defeat the Assyrians in B.C.1107, while the Dynastic Tablet places the death of the Babylonian king in B.C.1118, there must be a chronological error in the latter.] III ASSYRIAN CHRONOLOGY Sargon asserts that he was preceded by 330 Assyrian kings, among the earlier of them being Adasi and his son Bel-bani.
