Naram-Sin (died 1809 BC) was the King of Eshnunna for at least nine years, during its brief time of political power.Nagel, Wolfram, "Eine Siegesstele des Narāmsîn von Ešnunak?", Zeitschrift für Assyriologie und Vorderasiatische Archäologie, vol. 53, no. Jahresband, pp. 133-135, 1959
Early life He is known to be the son of Ipiq-Adad II, king of Eshnunna.
Reign He succeeded his father on the throne and reigned around 1818-1809 BC.Arkhipov, Ilya, 'The Middle East after the Fall of Ur: From Assur to the Levant', in Karen Radner, Nadine Moeller, and D. T. Potts (eds), The Oxford History of the Ancient Near East: Volume II: Volume II: From the End of the Third Millennium BC to the Fall of Babylon (New York, 2022; online edn, Oxford Academic, 18 Aug. 2022)
Shamshi-Adad He was contemporary of Shamshi-Adad I, the future king of the Kingdom of Upper Mesopotamia.Frayne, Douglas R. “Naram-Suen and the Mušḫuššu Serpents.” Journal of the American Oriental Society, vol. 102, no. 3, 1982, pp. 511–13 Shamshi-Adad was apparently ousted from his city by Naram-Sin which led to a brief exile in Babylon.
Military campaigns He continued the expansion of Eshnunna begun by his father, Ipiq-Adad II. He raided the Khabur triangle up to Ašnakkum.Charpin 2004b: 131
An inscription praying for the king's peace was found in Kythira.
