Enlil-nadin-shumi
King of Babylon / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Enlil-nādin-šumi, inscribed mdEN.LĺL-MU-MU[i 1] or mdEN.LĺL-na-din-MU,[i 2] meaning “Enlil is the giver of a name,” was a king of Babylon, c. 1224 BC, following the overthrow of Kaštiliašu IV by Tukulti-Ninurta I of Assyria. Recorded as the 29th ruler of the Kassite dynasty, his reign was a fleeting one year, six months (or perhaps just six months, depending on the reading of MU 1 ITI 6 in the Kinglist A,[i 1][1]) before he was swept from power by the invasion of the Elamite forces under the last king of the Igehalkid dynasty, Kidin-Hutran III.
