==Biography==

He succeeded his long-reigning father, [[Nabû-mukin-apli]], during whose time he appeared as a witness on a [[kudurru]] recording a title deed, dated to either his father's 23rd or 25th year, more than a decade before he ascended the throne,<ref group=i name=bbst9/> suggesting he was fairly elderly when he became king. The dynastic affiliation of the family is unknown and all three members of the family are recorded as the successive contemporaries of the [[Assyria]]n king [[Tiglath-Pileser II|Tukultī-apil-Ešarra II]].<ref group=i>''Synchronistic King List'', Ass. 14616c (KAV 216) iii 10.</ref> Two inscriptions on [[Lorestān bronze]] arrowheads are inscribed with the name “Ninurta-kudurrῑ-uṣur” are generally ascribed to the earlier, similarly obscure monarch, [[Ninurta-kudurri-usur I|Ninurta-kudurrῑ-uṣur I]], ca. 987 – 985 BC, to whom Brinkman suggests a possible filiation such as grandfather,<ref name=pkb/>{{rp|175}} while a third possession inscription gives his title as Prince (A LU.GAL) and is thought likely to be this individual, although in fact each of them could refer to either monarch.<ref>{{ cite book | title = Reallexikon der Assyriologie und Vorderasiatischen Archäologie: Nab - Nuzi | volume = 9 | author = J.

The ''[[Religious Chronicle]]''<ref group=i>''Religious Chronicle'' (ABC 17), BM 35968.</ref> may have been written during his reign, as it ends with events relating to the reign of his father although the only copy that we have is written in the Neo-Babylonian script and is consequently late. His reign was possibly too insignificant to warrant mention in the ''[[Eclectic Chronicle]]''.<ref>{{ cite book | title = Assyrian and Babylonian chronicles | author = A. K. Grayson | publisher = J.
