Ammi-Saduqa

Ammī-ṣaduqa (sometimes spelled Ammisaduqa, Ammizaduga) was a king of the First Dynasty of Babylon, who ruled in 1646–1626 BC (High Middle Chronology) or 1638–1618 BC (Low Middle Chronology).

Family

He was the eldest son and successor of Ammī-ditāna, probably born of Queen Šamuḫtum.

Reign

Some twenty-one year-names survive for his reign, including the first seventeen. The names indicate that these years were fairly peaceful ones for the kingdom of Ammī-ṣaduqa, who was primarily engaged in enriching and enlarging the temples, and a few other building projects, such as building a wall at the mouth of the Euphrates in his eleventh regnal year.

Death

On his death, Ammī-ṣaduqa was succeeded by his son, Samsu-ditāna, the last king of the Amorite dynasty. Another son of Ammī-ṣaduqa might have been Sîn-ibnīšu.
