Nabu-shuma-ishkun

Nabû-šuma-iškun, inscribed ^mdNabû-šuma-iškun^un, was king of Babylon, speculatively ca. 761 – 748 BC (see below for provenance), and ruled during a time of great civil unrest. He came from the Bit-Dakkuri tribe, a Chaldean group apparently unrelated to that of his immediate predecessor, Eriba-Marduk.
