Ibal-pi-el II (died 1765 BC) was a king of the kingdom of Eshnunna in ancient Mesopotamia. He reigned c. 1779âÂÂ1765 BC.
He was the son of Dadusha and nephew of Naram-Sin.
He conquered the cities of Diniktum and Rapiqum. With Hammurabi and the Amorite king Shamshi-Adad I he besieged the kingdom of Malgium until its ruler bought them off with 15 talents of silver.
He was a contemporary of Zimri-Lim of Mari, and formed powerful alliances with Yarim-Lim I, Amud-pi-el of Qatanum, Rim-Sin I of Larsa, and most importantly, Hammurabi of Babylon, to appose the rise of Shamshi-Adad I in Assyria on his northern border who himself had alliances with Carchemish, Hassum, Urshu, and Qatna.
Some scholars have suggested the biblical king Amraphel may have been Ibal Pi-El II of Eshnunna, while others consider Ameraphel to be Hammurabi.
He was killed by Siwe-Palar-Khuppak of Elam, who captured Eshnunna, and he was succeeded by Silli-Sin.
