PREFACE. 
 
 The histories of Sennacherib and Assur-bani-pal, kings of 
 Assyria, have already been written by the late Mr. Georg-e 
 Smith. Sennacherib ruled over Assyria from B.C. 705 to 
 B.C. 681 ; Assur-bani-pal from B.C. 668 to B.C. 626. But from 
 B.C. 681 to B.C. 668 a king called Esarhaddon reigned, and 
 the annals of this king have been translated to form the present 
 history. Esarhaddon vi^as the son of Sennacherib, and father 
 of Assur-bani-pal. Thus we have the history of father, son, 
 and grandson j consequently, a fair knowledge of the warlike 
 expeditions which were undertaken, and what countries were 
 subdued by the Assyrians, between the years b.c. 705 and 
 B.C. 626. Sennacherib, Esarhaddon and Assur-bani-pal were 
 certainly three of the gTeatest kings that ever ruled over 
 Assyria. Their reigns, taken together, cover nearly eighty 
 years j but an exact idea of the influence that this family had 
 upon Assyria can only be made out clearly from the records 
 and documents which they themselves caused to be written. 
 Sennacherib was the true type of the Oriental conqueror — 
 delighting in war for its own sake, proud, cruel, and fond of 
 power. The Bible preserves for us a speech of the Rabshakeh ^ 
 
 > This is the Accadian ^N^X ^T^— ^TTct~ , D.P., rab-sak, 
 borrowed by the Hebrews under the form njJK^i'l • i-ab is the Semitic equi- 
 valent of the Accadian ^T^-^, GAL, "great." 
 
viii PREFACE. 
 
 of Sennacherib, so well known on account of the boastfulness 
 and pride so vividly portrayed in every word. The commence- 
 ment, Thus saith "the great kin^, the King of Assyria," ^ is 
 the oft-repeated formula beginning* all the inscriptions of this 
 monarch. We can quite understand such a king asking, 
 " Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arpad ? who are 
 they among all the gods of the countries, that the Lord should 
 deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand V for he frequently 
 boasts, '' the gods of his country I carried off, I spoiled." 
 
 The sway of Esarhaddon was, however, milder, and although 
 he warred as much as '^ the king his father, who went before," 
 yet he exhibits many signs of gentleness, and it is evident 
 that he tried to pacify all those subjects that successful warfare 
 had allowed him to conquer. It must be clear to all how 
 valuable are the cuneiform inscriptions that give us the history 
 of this monarch. The Bible mentions him but three times by 
 name -^ he is alluded to once.^ 
 
 Esarhaddon's son, Assur-bani-pal, was the literary king* imr 
 excellence^ and he records of himself that " Nebo and Tasmit 
 gave him broad ears, and his seeing eyes regarded the 
 engraved characters of the tablets, the secrets of Nebo, the 
 literature of the library, as much as is suitable, on tablets 
 I wrote, I engraved, I explained, and for the inspection of my 
 subjects in the midst of my palace I placed " {W.A.L^ iv. pi. 55). 
 
 The following is his full and interesting account of his sub- 
 jection of Tirhakah, King of Egypt and Cush, translated from 
 the large decagon cylinder containing the " Annals of Assur- 
 
 " 2 Kings xix. 37 ; Isaiah xxxvii. 38 ; Ezra iv. 2.

 banipal/' recently brought from the East, and bearing the 
 number R^ i in the British Museum collection : — 
 
 1 In my first expedition to the land of Magan and Melukh- 
 kha, then I went. 
 
 2 Tirhakah, King of Egypt and Gush, 
 
 3 of whom Esarhaddon, King of Assyria, the father, my 
 begetter, 
 
 4 his overthrow had accomplished, and had ruled over his land, 
 then he, Tirhakah, 
 
 5 the power of Assur (and) Istar, the great gods, my lords, 
 despised, and 
 
 6 he trusted to his own might. Against the kings, 
 
 7 prefects, which within Egypt, the father, my begetter, had 
 appointed 
 
 8 to slay, plunder, and capture Egypt, he came 
 
 9 against them, he entered and dwelt within Memphis, 
 
 lo the city which the father, my begetter, had captured, and 
 
 to the border of Assyria had added it. 
 Ill was walking within Nineveh, (when) one came and 
 
 1 2 repeated to me concerning these deeds. 
 
 13 My heart groaned and was smitten down my liver. 
 
 14 I lifted up my two hands j I besought Assur and Istar, the 
 holy one. 
 
 15 (Then) I assembled my powerful forces, (with) which 
 Assur and Istar 
 
 16 had filled my two hands. Against the lands of Egypt and 
 Gush 
 
 17 I set straight the expedition 
 
 27 Tirhakah, King of Egypt and Gush, within Memphis, 
 
 28 of the march of my expedition heard, and to make battle ; 
 (his) weapons 
 
 29 and army {St?] ^® ^® assembled, (with) his soldiers. 
 
 23 In the service of Assur, Bel, the great gods, my lords, 
 
 24 the marchers before me in a great field battle, I accom- 
 plished the overthrow of his army. 
 
X PREFACE. 
 
 25 Tirhakah, within Memphis, heard of the defeat of his army. 
 
 26 the terror of Assur and Istar overwhelmed him, and he 
 went backward, 
 
 27 the fear (approach) of my lordship covered him. 
 
 28 The city Memphis he turned from, and for the saving of 
 his life 
 
 29 he fled to the midst of Thebes. 
 
 30 That city I captured, my army I caused to enter and to 
 dwell within it. 
 
 Col. 2. 
 
 20 Tirhakah fled from his locality, (but) the fire of the weapon 
 of Assur, my lord, 
 
 2 1 overwhelmed him, and he went to his dark destiny. 
 
 His grandest work was the institution of the great library 
 of clay tablets at Koyunjik. 
 
 And now as regards the texts, translations and notes that are 
 contained in this book. I have used all the principal historical 
 texts, and every line of these has been carefiilly compared 
 with the original clay tablets and cylinders in the British 
 Museum. But it cannot be expected that every notice con- 
 cerning Esarhaddon which may be found upon contract or 
 other tablets will be given in so small a book. 
 
 In the first place, it would necessitate a strict and careful 
 examination of every tablet and tablet-fragment in the 
 British Museum collection, which alone would require many 
 many months to be devoted entirely to the purpose — no small 
 task either, as any will see who knows the nature of the writing 
 on the tablets. 
 
 Secondly, when done, the chances are that it would place 
 the book entirely out of the reach of commercial enterprise. 
 
PREFACE. xi 
 
 These two reasons, taken together, will account for the 
 omission of the text and translation of a tablet containing 
 " Addresses to Esarhaddon/' ^ and also of another containing* 
 an account of Esarhaddon's buildings, and numbered k 3053. 
 
 The translations are as literal as possible, and all added 
 words are enclosed in brackets. Parts of the texts relating 
 the history of Esarhaddon have been translated before by my 
 friend Dr. Julius Oppert, Professor of Arabic in the University 
 of France,'' the profound scholar and earliest pioneer of 
 Assyrian in France. 
 
 The grammatical analysis has been thrown into a vocabulary 
 arranged according to the order of the English alphabet. The 
 object has been to make the words easily accessible and use- 
 ful. Wherever I have known a Semitic equivalent for the 
 Assyrian word it has been given, but words properly Syriac 
 have been turned into Hebrew letters. The sense of some 
 of the words is only known from the context, and of course 
 there are some the meaning of which I do not know at all. 
 
 Here I take the opportunity of expressing my great obliga- 
 tions to the Rev. A. H. Sayce, M.A., for several years past 
 my kind friend and teacher. It is to him that I am indebted 
 for anything I may know of Assyrian. The whole of the 
 MS. for this book was read by him before it went to press, 
 and it owes much to his scholarly and accurately critical eye. 
 
 My thanks are also due to Mr. Pinches for copies of texts 
 and verifications of existing copies.

xii PREFACE. 
 
 New advances are made in Assyrian with every new tablet 
 that is found. Old readings are corrected, new words are 
 found, and what is almost unintelligible to-day becomes 
 quite clear to-morrow. With such progress going on, no book 
 can be perfect ; and as for this, I feel that

 *' Truly I have committed errors, for there is no man who 
 does not err ; so that my error cleaves to me. I pray, there- 
 fore, that whoever understands and knows them, may correct 
 my errors according to his wisdom."

ADDENDA. 
 
 I. While The History of Esarhaddon was passing through the 
 press Dr. Schrader's new work, Zur Kritik der Inschriften Tiglath- 
 Pilesers II. des Asarhaddon und des Asurhanipal, appeared. On 
 pages 34 and 35 he identifies some of the towns and countries men- 
 tioned by Esarbaddon, and printed on pages 103—107 of this book. 
 Thus, concerning " 'Samsirauruna" he says, " Eine Stadt des Namens 
 Samsimurun ist bis jetzt in Palastina-Phonicien iiberhaupt nicht 
 nachzuweisen." He points out (as I have also done on page 107 of 
 The History of JEsarhaddon) that the hitherto accepted reading of 
 " Amtikhadatsti " is wrong, and should be " Karti-khadatsti," 
 " Newstadt," DK'in mp (Assyrisch regelrecht riDin "p), " bedeutet 
 und einfach ein cyprisches Kapxrj^atv = Karthago ist." Dr. Schrader 
 likewise points out that in Esarhaddon's List of Kings the King 
 of Arvad is called, " Matanbaal (?y3:|lJiip), but in Assurbanipal's list 
 " Yacinla" (75<3D*); also the name of the King of Beth-Ammon in the 
 former list is " Puduilu (''^r'*!?), but in the latter Amminadbi, Heb. 
 I'l'^^tpV,; and thinks "dass wir es bei dieser zweiten Liste nichts 
 weniger als mit einer gedankenlosen oder gar frivol-leichtsinnigen 
 Eeproducirung der friiheren des Asarhaddon zu thun haben." Also, 
 see " Zusatze," page 36 of Dr. Schrader's book, for the opinion of 
 Professor K. A. Lepsius, of Jena, concerning the town of Lidir, 
 situated in Cyprus. 
 
 II. In the " Vocabulary" all parts of the verb " suzubu" have 
 been compared with the Hebrew J 3ty. But I believe its correct 
 equivalent to be found in the Chaldee ^T^ or "^TPy " to save," " to 
 deliver ;" Syriac y\W. Compare Targum on Isaiah xx. 6, II'^^S?^ 
 ^yxp 5<7 , " themselves they deliver (save) not ;" nTlflK^OT Xy^LJ^") |D1, 
 "and who is the wicked man that shall be saved" (Ephraem, 
 " Carraina," 0pp. iii. p. 67,^ ; Eodiger, Chrestomathy, p. 79) ; x;33tK 
 XD^y^ nTIEJ'Kl, " that I shall save the world" (John xii, 47). In the 
 expression, " ana suzub napsate su," " for the saving of his life," I 
 would compare the word " suzub " with Chaldee ^?J\^, or Rabbinic 
 ^T^r??^, " deliverance, escape." 
 
 III. Ittagil, from J " dagalu." With this compare Chaldee /"^Jjl, 
 " fidere, confidere, fiduciam ponere vel coUocare;" and see Psalm ix. 11, 
 where '''^12^^.1 is translated by one MS. 1-1/'|0?), "and they trusted."

THE GENEALOGY AND ACCESSION OF 
 
 ESARHADDON, AND PRINCIPAL 
 
 EVENTS OF HIS REIGN. 
 
 EsARH ADDON was the son of Sennacherib, king of Assyria, 
 B.C. 705-681. The Sin-akhi-irib of the cuneiform inscrip- 
 tions is the— 
 
 inn^p of the Bible; 
 
 LXX. ^(vvaxrjplfJi., or "Sevvax^jpetfi J 
 JosephuS, 2€vvaxr]pi^os ; 
 Herodotus, l.avaxapi^os. 
 
 The sons of Sennacherib were — 
 
 1 Sharesar, Biblical "IV^I^ (Nerg-al-sarra-yutsur) ; 
 
 2 Adrammelech, „ v^ll^; 
 
 3 Esarhaddon, „ n"in"ipx, 
 
 written 'Ao-opSai/ and 2axep8oi/ds, Berosus and LXX. ; 
 „ "Ao-apibavos, Ptolemy ; 
 
 ,, 'Aaapddav, Ezra ; 
 
 „ Sa^epStt)!/, Codex Alex. 
 
 ,, 'Axeipdavos, Compl. 
 
 The account of the death of Sennacherib is told us by the 
 Bible, and very briefly, for we read (2 Kings xix. 37) : *^ And 
 it came to pass as he (Sennacherib) was worshipping in the 
 house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Shareser his 
 
 B 
 
2 GENEALOGY AND ACCESSION 
 
 sons smote him with the sword ; and they escaped into the 
 land of Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son reig-ned in his 
 stead." ^ 
 
 Josephus says {Ant.^ x. i, sec. 5) that Sennacherib was 
 buried " in his own temple called Araske " ('ei' rw I'Siw j/a&> 
 
 ' Apdo-KT] XeyojjLevio). 
 
 It has been generally thought that Esarhaddon was Sen- 
 nacherib's eldest son, and this seems to have been the idea of 
 Polyhistor, who made Sennacherib place a son, Asordanes, on 
 the throne of Babylon during his own lifetime (Ap. Euseb., 
 Chrm.y Can. i. 5).'' The testimony of a small tablet {W.A.I. ^ 
 iii., 16) supports this view. 
 
 It has been aptly called the ^^ Will of Sennacherib."^ It 
 reads — 
 
 "I, Sennacherib, king of multitudes, king of Assyria, 
 have given chains of gold, etc., to 
 Esarhaddon, my son, who was afterwards named 
 Assur-ebil-mucin-pal, 
 
 according to my wish." 
 The name of Esarhaddon is written in the following ways — 
 
 D.P. Assur - akha-iDiN -na. — i. 49? i- 
 
 D.P. Assur-akha-idinna. — i. 48, 2, i. 
 
 D.P. Assur-akha-idinna. — i. 48, 5, i. 
 It means ^^ Assur gave a brother." 
 
 * These events are mentioned, with additions, by Berosus (Berosus and 
 Abydenus ap. Eusebius, Chron. Armen , ed. Aucher, vol. i. pp. 42, 43) ; 
 Gesenius, Theosaurus, p. 962.

 The character ►— is a variant form for ►-►^ , Assur. It 
 is found on an altar slab of Assur-natsir-pal {Trans. Soc. Bib. 
 Arch.j vol. vii.). 
 
 Esarhaddon began to reign b.c. 681, and he reigned until 
 B.C. 668. His brothers Adrammelech and Shareser attempted 
 to obtain the throne, but Esarhaddon drew up his army, and, 
 marching against them, gained a complete victory at Khani- 
 rabbat, a district on the Upper Euphrates. According to some, 
 Adrammelech was killed in battle; according to others, he 
 escaped with his brother and took refuge in Armenia. Accord- 
 ing to local tradition, the king of Armenia received the van- 
 quished with great kindness, and gave them land to dwell in.^ 
 
 A tablet, containing* ^' addresses " to Esarhaddon, was 
 probably drawn up at the time when Esarhaddon was prepar- 
 ing to fight against his brothers. Column II. speaks thus 
 {W.A.I. iv. 68):— 
 
 14 Fear not, Oh Esarhaddon, 
 
 15 I (am) Bel, thy strength. 
 
 16 & 17 I will ease the supports of thy heart. 
 
 18 Respect, as for thy mother,

 After tlie battle (b.c. 680), Esarhaddon marched into 
 Nineveh. But about this time Nabu-zir^napisti-eser, son of 
 Merodach-Baladan, an old enemy of Assyria, raised an army 
 and went to attack the city of Ur, whose eponym's name was 
 Nin-gal-iddina (?). He was successful in his siege, and cap- 
 tured the city. Esarhaddon sent out his officers, and Nabu- 
 zir-napisti-esir, knowing this, fled to Elam, asking protection 
 from Umman-aldas, king of that country. But this was 
 refused ; and in col. 2, lines 2tZ ^^^ 34, we read that " he had 
 trusted to the king of Elam, who had not caused his life to be 
 spared." Nahid-Marduk, another son of Merodach-Baladan, 
 hearing of the death of his brother, came to Nineveh and 
 sought alliance with Esarhaddon, who received him graciously, 
 and gave him the sea- coast to rule over. 
 
 Another revolt in Syria now claimed the attention of the 
 Assyrian king. Abdi-milcutti, king of the city of Zidon, had 
 made alliance with 'Sanduarri, king of Cundi and 'Sizu. 
 Esarhaddon marched against Zidon, besieged and captured it. 
 He cut oif the heads of Abdi-milcutti and 'Sanduarri, and, 
 hanging them upon the necks of their great men, exhibited 
 them in the wide spaces (Rehoboth) in Nineveh. 
 
 All Palestine and the neighbouring regions now submitted 
 to Esarhaddon — viz., twelve districts in Palestine, and ten in 
 Cyprus. Each king sent presents. 
 
 At this time, also, he captured the city of Arzani, perhaps 
 a city of Egypt. 
 
 Esarhaddon's next expedition was against the Gimirrai, or 
 Kimmerians, whose king was called Teuspa. He conquered 
 them, and, at the same time, the inhabitants of Cilicia and 
 Duha submitted. 
 
 Soon after this, Esarhaddon attacked the Mannai, but in 
 this attempt he appears not to have been quite as successful. 
 However, five Median chiefs came to Nineveh and submitted 
 to Esarhaddon. 
 
OF ESARHADDON. 5 
 
 Esarhaddon now attempted the conquest of Arabia. Many 
 of the Assyrian king's before Esarhaddon had made some con- 
 quests in the land of Edom. But he went farther, and reached 
 two cities, called Bazu and Khazu (the Biblical Huz and 
 Buz), and conquered eig-ht king-s and queens. The journey, 
 however, was very difficult, and little more is said about it. 
 
 A king-, called Lailie, asked that the g'ods which Esarhaddon 
 had captured from him mig*ht be restored. His request was 
 granted, and Esarhaddon says — " I spoke to him of brother- 
 hood, and entrusted to him the sovereignty of the districts of 
 Bazu." 
 
 Esarhaddon being- master of Arabia, Syria, Media, and the 
 other countries which had rebelled against him, was now troubled 
 by Egypt. Before the reign of Esarhaddon, an Ethiopian, 
 called Sabaka, had conquered Egypt. He died, and Sabatok, 
 his successor, made good his cause, and was recognised as 
 king.^ But now Tirhakah fought Sabatok, who was vanquished, 
 taken prisoner, and put to death. ^ 
 
 Tirhakah had been a stubborn and rebellious enemy against 
 Sennacherib, the father of Esarhaddon. It was his army that 
 had opposed Sennacherib at the time of the overthrow of the 
 Assyrian army. Tirhakah, having reigned about twenty years, 
 considered himself well established on the Egyptian throne, so 
 he made an alliance with Bahlu, king of Tyre, and as it is said — 
 '' The yoke of Assur, my lord, they despised \ they were 
 insolent and rebellious." 
 
 " Esarhaddon had entered into a convention with Bahal, 
 by which, in return for services rendered by the Tyrians, the 
 Assyrian monarch ceded to the king of Tyre a considerable 
 portion of the coast of Palestine, including Accho, Dor, and all 
 the northern coast of the Philistines, with the cities and Gebal, 
 and Lebanon, and the cities in the mountains behind Tyre." * 
 
 This very serious rebellion aroused Esarhaddon and brought 
 him and his army against the rebels. He started from the

 city Apliek, and marched as far as Rapikhi (?), a journey of 
 30 caslnij or 210 miles. 
 
 The Assyrian army was short of water, and was obliged to 
 drink whatever water could be found, for he says — 
 
 " Marsh waters from buckets I caused my army to drink." 
 He then marched into Egypt, and Tirhakah was beaten. 
 
 Esarhaddon next divided Egypt into twenty provinces ; all, 
 except two, being governed by Egyptian generals. 
 The exceptions are : — 
 
 Sar-ludari,king of the city of Tsiahnu (Zoan, or Tanis),and 
 Bucur-Ninip, king of the city of Pakhnuti. 
 
 Esarhaddon caused to be carved upon the rocks of the 
 Nahr-el-Kelb a long inscription, in which he called himself 
 "King of Egypt, Thebes, and Ethiopia.'" b.c. 672. 
 
 Esarhaddon now began his buildings. He first built " ten 
 fortresses " in Assyria and Accad. He then repaired and 
 enlarged the palace at Nineveh, which had been made for 
 the " custody of the camp-baggage." The twenty-two kings 
 of Syria (for their names see text) brought him materials for 
 his works. He began a palace at Calah, but it was never 
 finished; and he built one for his son, Assur-bani-pal, at 
 Tarbitsi (modern Sheref Khan). 
 
 While Esarhaddon was yet king, he set his son Assur-bani- 
 pal upon the throne to reign with him. This is evident from 
 W.A.I., iii. I, 7, 9, where it is said: — 
 
 9 Esarhaddon, king of Assyria, the father, my begetter. 
 
 10 The will of Assur and Beltis the gods, his ministers, he 
 
 exalted. 
 
 1 1 Which (gods) commanded him to establish my kingship. 
 The inscription then goes on to say that, on the 12 th day 
 
 of May, Esarhaddon gathered together the principal men of 
 the kingdom, and it was decreed that Assur-bani-pal should 
 be made king. This event must have taken place between 
 B.C. 671 and B.C. 668.

OF ESARHADDON. 7 
 
 When Esarhaddon returned to Assyria, Tirhakah raised a 
 larg'e army and went to besieg'e Memphis. The city fell into 
 his hands after a " murderous sieg*e."^ The account of his- 
 defeat is g-iven by the annals of Assur-bani-pal. Esarhaddon 
 died in the year B.C. 668. 
 
 He left one son, Assur-bani-pal, king- of Assyria, and 
 another called g-enerally Saulmug-ina, kin^ of Babylon. 
 Their names are thus written : —

 Saulmug-ina, J ^>^ t^J ^^^ ►¥" *^TT-^ ^'^T' 
 
 Esarhaddon was truly " the great king-," and he adopted 
 the policy of holding court at Nineveh and Babylon. Baby- 
 lon was the scene of many great battles, and during- its exist- 
 ence was fought for oftener than, perhaps, any other city in the 
 Babylonian and Assyrian empires. It was said to have been 
 built in very early times, became capital under Khammuragas, 
 and held this position for 1200 years {Babylonia^ p. 75). 
 Khammuragas (about B.C. 1700) calls himself ^* king of 
 Babylon." He built there a temple to Merodach. 
 
 It was conquered by Tuculti-Ninip B.C. 1271 ; by Tiglath- 
 Pileser I. b.c. mo; by Tiglath-Pileser II. B.C. 7315 by 
 Merodach-Baladan b.c. 722; by Sargon b.c. 721; it was 
 sacked and burnt by Sennacherib b.c. 692, but restored by 
 Esarhaddon b.c. 6755 captured by Assur-bani-pal b.c. 648, 
 also by Nabu-pal-yutsur b.c. 626, and finally taken by the 
 Medes and Persians B.C. 539.^^ 
 
 In his capacity of ruler he was comparatively merciful and 
 kind, for the phrase '^riemu arsi-su " (I showed mercy to 
 him) occurs frequently in the inscriptions j also his restoration

 to his enemies of the gods which he had captured is probably 
 without equal among the deeds of the might j kings of Assyria 
 " who went before." Another proof of his generosity to his 
 enemies is shown by the fact of his releasing Manasseh, king 
 of Judah, and restoring- to him his kingdom after he had 
 been carried captive to Babylon (2 Chron. xxxiii. 11). He 
 extended the Assyrian empire by the conquests of Arabia and 
 Egypt, and does not appear to have taken delight in warlike 
 expeditions for their own sake, but only undertook them when 
 necessity required for the submission of his enemies.

 THE ARABIAN WAR OF ESARHADDON. 
 
 In lines 55 and 56, printed below, it is stated that Sen- 
 nacherib had conquered the city of Edom, in Arabia. A 
 notice of this event is found on a tablet (K 3405), very much 
 defaced, a copy of which is printed in Smith's Sennacherib, 
 p. 138. The invasion by Sennacherib took place about 
 B.C. 691. At the time of Esarhaddon, Khazail was king* 
 of Arabia, and when he died Esarhaddon bestowed the throne 
 upon Yautah or Yahlua, the son of Khazail. This occurred 
 during the reign of Esarhaddon, and Yautah paid his ap- 
 pointed tribute, as Khazail had done before him, until some 
 time after the death of Esarhaddon. Assur-bani-pal, was king 
 of Assyria, and Saulmugina, his brother, had revolted. It was 
 then that Yautah joined in the revolt and raised two armies ; 
 one he sent to Palestine, and the other to the help of the 
 Babylonians. He had refused to pay his tribute, and his con- 
 duct is thus tersely described by Assur-bani-pal (W.A.I., iii. 
 23, 105): — "For when Elam was speaking sedition wnith 
 Accad, he heard, and then he disregarded fealty to me, (even) 
 myself Assur-bani-pal, the King, the noble hero, the powerliil 
 chief, the work of the hands of the god Assur. He forsook 
 me, and to Abiyateh and Aimu, sons of Teahri, his forces with 
 them, for the assistance of Saulmugina, my rebellious brother, 
 he sent, and established his face. The people of Arabia he 
 caused to revolt with him, and carried off the plunder of the 
 
ARABIAN WAR OF ESARHADDON. 53 
 
 people whom Assur, Istar, and the great gods had given me." 
 His was, however, totally defeated, for another notice says — 
 " The Arabians who escaped from before my warriors the god 
 Ninip destroyed. In want and famine their life was passed, 
 
 and for food they eat the flesh of their children 
 
 To Yautah misfortune happened, and he fled away alone to 
 Nabaiti." Assur-bani-pal placed Abiyateh upon the throne of 
 Yautah." The account of these events, given in W.A.I., iii. 25, 
 81, goes on to state that Assur-bani-pal brought Yautah out 
 from Nabatea, and kept him chained in the Gate of the Rising 
 Sun, in Nineveh.

 15, 16-27, where it is said, "The cedar, the liccarma tree and the almug> 
 from the countries I have conquered, these trees which none of the kings, my 
 fathers, that were before me, had planted, 1 took, and in the plantations of 
 my land 1 planted, and by the name of plantation I called them ; whatsoever 
 there was not in my land I took (and) the plantations of Assyria I 
 established."

 Altogether twenty-two kings of the country of the Hittites,

 THE EGYPTIAN CAMPAIGN OF 
 ESARHADDON. 
 
 No notice or account of Esarhaddon's Egyptian campaign 
 occurs on the large and nearly complete cylinder, a copy of 
 which is printed in the preceding pages. Our knowledge of 
 it is obtained from tablet fragments in the British Museum 
 Collection and short notices in the "Annals of Assur-bani-pal." 
 The two following are the principal annal notices ( W.A.I., iii. 
 17, 51-62):— 
 
 " In my first expedition to Makan and Meroe, then I went. 
 Tirhakah, king of Egypt and Ethiopia, whose overthrow 
 Esarhaddon, king of Assyria, the father, my begetter, had 
 accomplished and had taken possession of his country; then he, 
 Tirhakah, the might of the god Assur, the goddess Istar, and 
 the great gods, my lords despised, and trusted to his own might 
 
 ; (59) and to capture Egypt he came against them, he 
 
 entered and sat in Memphis, the city which the father, my 
 begetter, had taken, and to the boundaries of Assyria had 
 added." 
 
 ^F.^./., iii. 28, 6-8. 
 " Tirhakah against the men of Assyria, who within Egypt 
 (were) tributaries dependent on me whom Esarhaddon, king 
 of Assyria, the father, my begetter, to kingdoms had appointed, 
 in the midst of it came." 
 
 Egypt and Ethiopia were under the rule of Tirhakah during 
 the first part of Esarhaddon's reign, but the latter drove 
 him out of Egypt. In the latter part of Esarhaddon's reigu 
 Tirhakah again conquered Egypt, and this was probably the 
 cause of Assur-bani-pal's expedition to that country.

 Assur. The great and supreme god of the Assyrians, from 
 which the country took its name. He is called the "god of 
 judges" (iii. 66, 23), and the month Ve-adar was dedicated 
 to "the god Assur, the father of the gods" (iv. 33, 48). 
 Among the earlier kings, in their invocations he is simply 
 mentioned as one among a number of gods, but in the time 
 of Assurbanipal he is often mentioned alone and with 
 attributes of power. 
 
 Assurj Biblical "^^^^ . Assur is itself a Turanian compound 
 from Ty, "water," and >^ {sur), "bank or field," and 
 has therefore attached to it the Accadian suffix ^TET? 
 "land" (Sayce, Trans. Soc. Bib. Arch., vol. i. 299). The 
 earliest form found is ►^►?- TI T^ ^ET>^T , a-usar (i. 6 ;

 religious system of the Assyrians. Istar was the daughter of 
 the Moon-god, her spouse was Tammuz (the t^sri of Ezekiel 
 viii. 14), and the Adonis of the Greeks, whom she went to 
 seek in the *^ land of no return," or Hades. Many are the 
 hymns which are dedicated to Istar, and very fine are the 
 epithets applied to her. As her name is written here, she is 
 the g-oddess of the half-month, or fifteen days ( ^UJ ) . She 
 is called "the wife of Bel" (iii. 24, 78). As regards the 
 title " Istar of Nineveh," it is said (iii. 24, 65) : Istar sa 
 Ninua il-sarrat Kitmure, " Istar of Nineveh, the divine queen 
 of Kitmure ;" and in line 78 Nineveh is said to he naram 
 Istar y '^ the delight of Istar." The month Elul was dedicated 
 to her. There were also Istar of Arbela, and Istar of Erech.
