Icon of person Ashur-etil-ilani

Aššur-etil-ilāni, also spelled Ashur-etel-ilani and Ashuretillilani (Neo-Assyrian Akkadian: 𒀸𒋩𒉪𒅅𒀭𒈨𒌍, romanized: Aššur-etil-ilāni, meaning "Ashur is the lord of the Tree"), was the king of the Neo-Assyrian Empire from 631 BC to 627 BC. Aššur-etil-ilāni is an obscure figure with a brief reign from which few inscriptions survive. Because of this lack of sources, very little concrete information about the king and his reign can be deduced. It is possible that Aššur-etil-ilāni was a weak ruler as there are no records of the king ever undertaking a military campaign or going on a hunt, activities previous Assyrian kings would famously do very often; this, in turn, may have helped to entice some of Assyria's vassals, such as the Kingdom of Judah, to break free from Assyrian control and begin to act independently. Aššur-etil-ilāni was succeeded by his brother Sîn-šar-iškun under uncertain, though not necessarily violent, circumstances. Read more on Wikipedia
