 | | Adad-nirari II Adad-nirari II (911 - 891 BC) campaigned to re-assert Assyrian control in the north-west, moving into the northern mountains beyond the Tur Abdin in an effort to establish settled conditions that would bring the most productive use of resources and the greatest benefit to his nation. |
 | | In a successful battle against the northern people, the Qumani, he states ‘the rest of their troops, who had fled before my weapons, but come back, I settled in peaceful dwellings’. |
 | | Shamash-mudammiq was murdered, after the unsuccessful battle, and a treaty signed with his successor, Nabu-shum-ukin (904-888 BC) who sealed it with a marriage alliance, secured peace for many years. |
