Population and history
The city was the Amorite Numha tribe's center,[17][18] it controlled a small area and included the nearby city of Kasapa.[19] The east Semitic deity Nergal was Kurda's chief god.[20][21]
In the 18th century BC, Kurda was involved in a military dispute with the neighboring kingdom of Andarig, which ended in peace.[22] However, Kurda was later subdued by Andarig and its master, the king of Elam.[23] The kingdom tried switching its loyalty to Babylon but was stopped by the Elamites who were defeated by a Babylonian-Mariote alliance in 1764 BC,[23] giving Kurda the chance to form an alliance with the kingdom of Apum to face Andarig.[24] Kurda annexed the city of Ashihum,[25] then became a vassal of Babylon,[26] and ended its relation with Mari in response to the latter role in supporting Andarig.[27]
