==Biography==

He was the only king to succeed his father to the Babylonian throne between the years 810 and 626 BC and his accession followed shortly after the first incursions of the newly emboldened [[Neo-Assyrian Empire|Neo-Assyrian]] state. He was one of the kings who were contemporary with [[Tiglath-Pileser III|Tukultī-apil-Ešarra III]], the [[Assyria]]n king who would later (729 BC) go on to conquer Babylon. In the second year of his reign, he was toppled and killed (''dīk'') in an insurrection led by a provincial official (''bēl pīḫati'') named [[Nabu-shuma-ukin II|Nabû-šuma-ukīn]], who inturn was to retain the throne for little more than one month. There are no known texts from his reign.<ref>{{ cite book | title = Reallexikon der Assyriologie und vorderasiatischen Archäologie: Nab-Nuzi | chapter = Nabû-nādin-zēri | author = J. A.
