Ammitakum II

Ammitakum II was the last king of the ancient Mesopotamian city Alalakh.[1] Archaeologists unearthed a large number of tablets detailing Ammitakum's reign. These documents showed that many citizens of Alalakh were indebted to him.[2] Ammitakum purchased two settlements named Age and Igandan from Irkabtum, a king of Yamhad.[3] It is likely Ammitakum was succeeded by Hammurabi of Alalakh.[4] Ammitakum also arranged an arranged marriage for his son. He married his son to the daughter of the king of Ibla.[5][6]
