Ammi-Saduqa

Ammī-ṣaduqa (sometimes spelled Ammisaduqa, Ammizaduga; died 1626 BC) was a king of the First Dynasty of Babylon, who reigned 1646–1626 BC (High Middle Chronology) or 1638–1618 BC (Low Middle Chronology).

Family He was the eldest son and successor of Ammi-Ditana, probably born of Queen Šamuḫtum.

Reign Some 21 year-names survive for his reign, including the first 17. The names indicate that these years were fairly peaceful ones for the kingdom of Ammi-Saduqa, who was primarily engaged in enriching and enlarging the temples, and a few other building projects, such as building a wall at the mouth of the Euphrates River in his 11th regnal year.

Death On his death, Ammi-Saduqa was succeeded by his son, Samsu-Ditana, the last king of the Amorite dynasty. Another son of Ammi-Saduqa might have been Sîn-ibnīšu.
