	Shulgi - MSN Encarta
		Shulgi (ruled 2095-2047 bc), second and most important ruler of the 3rd Dynasty of Ur, in Sumer, and generally considered one of the most enlightened kings of the ancient world.
		Shulgi, who claimed divine status, ascended the throne at a young age after his father, King Ur-Nammu, was killed fighting the Gutians from Mesopotamia.
		Shulgi died after 48 years of rule, possibly by assassination, and was buried in a magnificent sepulchre at Ur, in the southeastern part of present-day Iraq.

	Praise to Shulgi - www.GatewaysToBabylon.com
		Shulgi, the son of Ur-Nammu, the founder of the Third Dynasty of Ur, is one of the more renowned kings of Sumer, whose reign endured for almost half a century.
		It is my belief that Shulgi is the proto-Solomon, a wise and passionate priest-king and beloved by the gods and by his people.
		I, Shulgi, the multiplier of all things, brought bread offerings there, Inspiring fear from my royal seat like a lion, In the lofty palace of Ninegal, I scoured my knees, I bathed in fresh water, Bent the knees, ate bread, Like an owl and a falcon I arose, Returned triumphantly to Nippur.

	Empire of the 3rd dynasty of Ur (
		Force seems to have been employed only as a last resort, and every attempt was made to bring about peaceful conditions on the other side of the border through the dispatch of embassies or the establishment of family bonds--for example, by marrying the king's daughters to foreign rulers.
		Shulgi, too, called himself king of the four quarters of the earth.
		Shulgi and his successors enjoyed divine honours, as Naram-Sin of Akkad had before them; by now, however, the process of deification had taken on clearer outlines in that sacrifices were offered and chapels built to the king and his throne, while the royal determinative turned up in personal names.

		Shulgi also boasted that he was one of the few kings who had gone to school to become a scribe.
		His sons could not hold on to the empire they inherited, and their city was soon sacked by the Elamites.

		The notion of divine kingship was introduced in Sumer by Shulgi, the second and greatest king of the Ur III dynasty, who ruled between 2094 and 2047 B.C.E. Shulgi’s royal inscriptions, royal hymns and regnal dates indicate that he assumed his divinity toward the middle of his reign.
		Shulgi is the first king in history to express the wish that his hymns be transmitted to posterity.
		Shulgi counts among his ancestors the god and goddess who supposedly gave birth to the legendary king Gilgamesh, the hero of the epic that bears his name.

	For Dictionaire de la Bible, Supplement
		Shulgi, the second member of the dynasty, proclaimed his own divinity as part of a complex reaction to the ill-portending death of his father in battle.
		Shulgi’s father had already expressed his connections with his ancestor Gilgamesh, but the son took this tradition further, claiming to be the offspring of the union of Lugalbanda and Ninsumuna, and therefore the brother of Gilgamesh.
		Some of the Shulgi hymns retain certain features of older spelling and morphology, although it is impossible to judge if this is an archaism or a genuine reflection of the originals that were used as a base for the later copies.

		Shulgi the Favorite of the Gods characterizes Shulgi in a very similar manner to the way in which he is characterized in Shulgi D, but Shulgi X offers many more examples of the themes of divine blessing, praise, and decree, which are very important in the conceptualization of the ideal Sumerian ruler.
		Shulgi The King of the Road, Shulgi A, is a self-laudatory hymn of type B in which Shulgi praises himself and then recounts having made a trip from Nippur to Ur and back to Nippur in one day despite a heavy storm.
		The examination of the Shulgi royal hymns in relation to previous literature shows them accentuating already prevalent literary constructions, but briefly examining them in relation to the subsequent royal hymns displays them as a genre still in the process of evolving.

		Shulgi, the Ur-born son and successor of Ur-Nammu, required that he be worshiped as a god during his lifetime.
		When he wasn't strengthening his empire's frontiers, Shulgi was bureaucratically tightening his control over its economy, going so far as to tax the temple estates of the gods.
		Despite his physique and energy, Shulgi may have died violently from an assassin's blow, along with his consorts Geme-Ninlila and Shulgi-shimti.

	The Wars of Gods and Men - 5
		"As historical records have established, it was Shulgi who in the twenty-eighth year of his reign (2068 B.C.) gave his daughter in marriage to an Elamite chieftain and granted him the city of Larsa as a dowry; in return the Elamites put a "foreign legion" of Elamite troops at Shulgi’s disposal.
		It is thus in the last years of Shulgi’s reign that when Ur was still an imperial capital under his immediate successor Amar-Sin that we find the historical time slot into which all the biblical and Mesopotamian records seem to fit perfectly.
		Shulgi had gone there to pray and make offerings to the God Who Judges, and nearly a thousand years before him the Sumerian king Gilgamesh stopped there to obtain the special permission.

	Biografía - Shulgi
		Cuarenta y ocho años duró el reinado de Shulgi, hijo de Urnammu y continuador de su política de paz y desarrollo económico y cultural.
		Las fuentes nos indican que los primeros 23 años fueron dedicados a asuntos de orden interno como la restauración de santuarios, la reforma de pesos y medidas o la reorganización del ejército, culminando este programa reformista con su divinización y la titulación de "rey de las cuatro regiones".
		Con el fin de conseguir el apoyo de Elam, Shulgi casa a su hija con el ensi de Anshan, aunque pronto se iniciaron los enfrentamientos que se decantaron del lado sumerio, alcanzando un periodo de paz de nueve años.

		From Hittite friendship (residents of Canaan), who were known for their military experience, may shed light on the question of where Abraham himself had acquired the military proficiency which he employed so successfully during the War of the King.
		It is undoubtedly more than mere coincidence that Shulgi's death was the signal not only for a move by Abraham, but also for a re-alignment among the Near Eastern gods.
		The evidence for Marduk's movements is a tablet found in the library of Ashurbanipal, in which an aging Marduk tells of his erstwhile wanderings and eventual return to Babylon.
