Ishtup-Ishar
King of Mari / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ishtup-Ishar (Ištup-Išar) was a king (Lugal) of the second Mariote kingdom who reigned c. 2400 BC.[1] The king's name was traditionally read as Išhtup-šar, with šar being a common divine element in personal names attested in the region.[2] However, the king's name is read as Ishtup-Ishar by Alfonso Archi, Ishar being an important justice deity worshiped in Mari and Ebla.[3]
