'''Nabû-šuma-ukîn II''', inscribed m[d]''Nabû-šuma-úkîn''<ref group=i>''Kinglist A'', BM 33332, iv 5.</ref> or m''Šuma-''[''úkîn''],<ref group=i name=nabu>''Chronicle on the Reigns from Nabû-Nasir to Šamaš-šuma-ukin'' (ABC 1), i 16–18.</ref> whose complete name is only known from the ''Kinglist A'', was an usurper and briefly king of [[Babylon]] for one month and two days during 732 BC before he was swept aside by his successor, [[Nabu-mukin-zeri|Nabû-mukin-zēri]].

==Biography==

His reign was so fleeting he was omitted from the ''Ptolemaic Canon''.<ref>{{ cite book | title = Assyrian and Babylonian chronicles | author = A. K. Grayson | publisher = J. J. Augustin | year = 1975 | page = 231 }}</ref> His [[Assyria]]n contemporary was [[Tiglath-Pileser III|Tukultī-apil-Ešarra III]] who was too distracted campaigning in Syria to react to political events. He came to power as a disaffected former provincial governor leading a rebellion against [[Nabu-nadin-zeri|Nabû-nādin-zēri]], the son and successor of [[Nabonassar|Nabû-Nasir]].<ref>{{ cite book | title = A political history of post-Kassite Babylonia, 1158-722 B.C. | author = J. A. Brinkman | publisher = Analecta Orientalia | year = 1968 | pages = 235–236 }}</ref>

He was deposed and replaced by the [[Chaldea]]n chief, Nabû-mukin-zēri, of the Bīt-Amukani tribe, within weeks establishing a trend as later pretenders from the traditional Babylonian population were likewise to be displaced quickly by Chaldeans, [[Marduk-zakir-shumi II|Marduk-zakir-šumi II]] by [[Marduk-apla-iddina II]] in 703 BC and [[Nergal-ushezib|Nergal-ušezib]] by [[Mushezib-Marduk|Mušezib-Marduk]] in 692 BC.<ref>{{ cite book | title = Prelude to Empire: Babylonian Society and Politics, 747-626 B.C. | author = J.
