Irhuleni (
Hamath. He led a coalition against the Assyrian expansion under Shalmaneser III, alongside Hadadezer of Damascus.[1] This coalition succeeded in 853 BC in the Battle of Qarqar a victory over the Assyrians, halting their advance to the west for two years. Later Irhuleni maintained good relations with Assyria. His son was, in Luwian, Uratami.[2]
His name also appears in inscriptions on votive offerings found in Nimrud.
King Zakkur is known as the ruler of Hamath around 785 BC.[3]
