Ḳaus-malaka (Akkadian: ð¡ðÂÂÂð ð·ð  Qauà ¡-malaka; Edomite: ð¤Âð¤ ð¤Âð¤Âð¤Âð¤ QÃÂws-melek or QÃÂws-malÃÂk) was the king of Udumi (Edom) during the reign of the Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser III. His name references the deity Qaus and can be translated as "Qaus is king" (-melek) or "Qaus rules" (-malek). He was an enemy of Ahaz of Judah, and ruled alongside other east-Palestinian client kings such as Salamanu of Moab and Sinipu of Bit-Ammon. All of these rulers paid tribute to the Neo-Assyrian empire in 732 BC.
