1613 BC - CONQUESTS OF MOSES

## MAIN EVENTS

### 1627-1613 BC - Campaigns of Samsu-iluna and Abi-Eshuh of Babylon

In 1627 BC, Samsu-iluna of Babylon defeated Iadiah-abu of Hana, and his successor, Mutihurshan.

In 1619 BC he subdued the Amorites.

During this time in Assyria, Iptar-sin (Likud-shamash, Lampares) succeeded Sharma-adad I (Sosares) in 1626 BC, and Bazaya (Pannias) followed him in 1615 BC.

In Yamkhad, Yarim-lim II son of Aba-el I succeeded him in 1624 BC.

Abi-Eshuh succeeded Samsu-Iluna in Babylon in 1616 BC. In 1613 BC, he defeated the Kassites; that same year, a king Kashtiliashu succeeded Muti-hurshan in Hana. This is a Kassite royal name and it is believed the Kassites acquired power in Hana at this time.

### 1620 BC - Shalatiwara destroys Kanesh

Zuzzu had succeeded Anitta in Kanesh in 1629 BC.
In 1620 BC, Kanesh was sacked by the unknown ruler of Shalatiwara, and the Assyrian *karums* there were destroyed for the last time.

Zuzzu's royal cupbearer, Tudhaliya, possibly a relative, is thought to have escaped to Kushara and founded what later became the Hittite Empire from the same territory as had been controlled by Kanesh, as a Tudhaliya is mentioned as a Hittite ancestor before Labarna in some tablets. This is uncertain.

### 1613 BC - Tantalus in Lydia

Paris was succeeded in Celtica in 1625 BC by Leman (Lemannus), for whom Lake Geneva was said to be named Leman in French. Lake Geneva was already on the frontier with Allemania (Helvetia) at this point, so Leman may be a cognomen (like Brutus), signifying he campaigned in that area. Nevertheless, some books have him confused with Alman Hercules who reigned 200 years earlier in Teutania, and for whom the Allemani were named.

In 1618 BC, Tros had succeeded Erichtonius in Dardania, now called Troy.

In 1613 BC, Tantalus, another sodomite, came to the throne in Luwia (Lydia, Maeonia), which was recovering more ground in the wars with Marpesia of the Amazons. Two years later (1611 BC), Tantalus would carry off prince Ganymede of Troy, son of Tros, making him his royal cupbearer, and leading to a war between Lydia and Troy.

### 1613 BC - Moses and Hebrews conquer east bank of Jordan

In Egypt during these years, Khyan (Apachnan) succeeded Aper-anati (Bnon) among the Hyksos in 1630 BC. In Thebes, after Sobekhotep 8, there were Neferhotep III (1629 BC), Mentuhotepi (1628 BC), then Nebiriraw I (1627 BC), who reigned 21 years.

After wandering in the Sinai desert since 1653 BC and receiving the Ten Commandments, and a law code improved from earlier Mesopotamian ones, Moses in 1613 BC led the Hebrews to conquer Heshbon and Basan east of the Jordan from the Amorite kings Og and Sihon. However, he passed that year before the Hebrews crossed the Jordan and conquered the land of Canaan (Kenean) under Joshua.
