	JewishEncyclopedia.com - HAMMURABI:
		Hammurabi was the founder of the united Babylonian empire; he conquered Rim-Sin, King of Larsa and Sumer-Accad, joined the northern and southern kingdoms, and thus established the Babylonian empire, with its capital at Babylon.
		Hammurabi endeavored to restore to the land its former fruitfulness by building a new canal, which he named "Hammurabi Is the Blessing of the People." Other accounts in his inscriptions record his building operations in connection with the most important sanctuaries of the land.
		The discovery of Hammurabi's code completely disproves one of the chief hypotheses of the Wellhausen school, that a codification on the part of the Hebrews was impossible before the ninth century.

	Hammurabi
		Hammurabi is principally known for his codification of Babylonian laws, which was probably not his own creation, but a continuation of older legal systems.
		Although Hammurabi experienced many military victories during the last period of his reign, he was not a great state builder — principally due to the existence of relatively few models for states and their structure.
		Hammurabi is probably the most recognized ruler in the history of early civilizations in Mesopotamia —; but it would be wrong to call him the most important.

	Hammurabi's Babylon
		Like other emperors, Hammurabi operated a protection racket, offering towns he captured the security of his superior military might in exchange for their obedience and tribute (payment of taxes).
		And during the reign of Hammurabi's son, the Babylonians believed that such a punishment had arrived in the form of an invasion by those called Kassites, from the mountainous region just east of Mesopotamia - the first people known to have entered Mesopotamia on horseback.
		Hammurabi's son led an army that was able to drive the Kassites away, but the Kassites returned and were able to overrun Babylon.

		Hammurabi, the king of righteousness, on whom Shamash has conferred right (or law) am I. My words are well considered; my deeds are not equaled; to bring low those that were high; to humble the proud, to expel insolence.

	Hammurabi (1792-1750 B.C)
		When Hammurabi succeeded Sin-muballit about 1792 BC he was still young, but, as was customary in Mesopotamian royal courts of the time, he had probably already been entrusted with some official duties in the administration of the realm.
		Hammurabi's laws—not a law code in the modern sense—must also be considered as an expression of his concern to be a just ruler—an ideal pursued by Mesopotamian kings at all times.
		That Hammurabi failed to set up an effective bureaucratic system may be attributed to his personal style in the governance of his realm and the fact that he was fully engaged in wars during the last part of his reign.
