Aà ¡à ¡ur-nÃÂrÃÂri I, inscribed <sup>m</sup>aà ¡-à ¡ur-ERIM.GABA, "Aà ¡à ¡ur is my help," was an Old Assyrian king who ruled for 26 years during the mid-second millennium BC, 1547 to 1522 BC. He was the 60th king to be listed on the Assyrian Kinglist and expanded the titles adopted by Assyrian rulers to include muddià ¡, "restorer of," and bÃÂni, "builder of," to the traditional epithets ensi, "governor," and ià ¡à ¡iak, "vice-regent," of Aà ¡à ¡ur.
He was the son of Ià ¡me-DagÃÂn II, and succeeded his brother à  amà ¡i-Adad III to the throne, ruling for twenty six years, an identification that all three Assyrian Kinglists (Khorsabad, SDAS and Nassouhi) agree on. The Synchronistic Kinglist gives his Babylonian contemporary as Kaà ¡til[...], possibly identified as Kaà ¡tiliaà ¡u III, the son and (eventual) successor of Burna-BuriyÃ¥à ¡ I, the Kassite kings of Babylon during the period when the dynasty was beginning to exert control over southern Mesopotamia.
Evidence of his construction activities survives, with four short inscriptions commemorating work building the temple of Bel-ibrëia on bricks recovered from an old ravine, restoring the Abaru forecourt and rebuilding the Sîn-à  amaà ¡ (Moon-god/Sun-god) temple, called the é.ḫúl.ḫúl.dir.dir.ra, âÂÂHouse of Surpassing Joys,â which would be later restored by Tukulti-Ninurta I and Aà ¡à ¡ur-nÃÂá¹£ir-apli II. He ruled in a peaceful and uneventful period of Assyrian history following the overthrow of the Babylonians and Amorites by Puzur-Sin c. 1732 BC and the rise of the Mitanni in the 1450s BC. He was succeeded by his son Puzur-Aà ¡à ¡ur III.
