Iahdun-Lim

Iahdun-Lim
(reigned ca. 1820-1796 b.c.)
   The second king of the Amorite dynasty established by Iaggid-Lim in Mari, and Iaggid-Lim's son. Like his father, Iahdun-Lim (or Yahdun-Lim) devoted much time and energy to keeping Mari safe and prosperous. The new king erected new defensive walls and constructed several irrigation canals to increase agricultural output. Iahdun-Lim also raised an army and tried to expand Mari's political power and territory. One campaign took him westward to the Mediterranean coast, whereheforcedsomelocaltownstopay him tribute. Iahdun-Lim was eventually assassinated, perhaps by one of his own sons.
