Ashur-nadin-ahhe II(Aššur-nādin-aḫḫē II)[2]was king ofAssyriafromc.1400 to 1391 BC. Preceded byAshur-rim-nisheshu,he was succeeded by his brother,Eriba-Adad I.[3]
Ashur-nadin-ahhe is an Assyrian personal name meaning “the godAshurhas given a brother” in theAkkadian language.Two Assyrian kings ruling in the 15th or early 14th century BC were called Ashur-nadin-ahhe. Hardly anything is known about these kings, but one of them is mentioned in one of theAmarna letters.In the letter from king Ashur-uballit of Assyria to the Pharaoh of Egypt, numberedEA 16,Ashur-nadin-ahhe is referred to as his ancestor who wrote to Egypt and received gold in return. This would imply an earlier diplomatic marriage and alliance between Assyria and Egypt during his reign. The name Ashur-nadin-ahhe mentioned in EA 16 has recently been contested as a faulty writing ofAshur-nadin-apli,another Assyrian king.[3]
