Yazkur-el


Yazkur-el had been the twenty-fourth Assyrian monarch of the Early Period of Aššūrāyu according to the Assyrian King List. Yazkur-el is listed within a section of the AKL as the eighth out of the ten, "kings whose fathers are known." This section had been written in reverse order—beginning with Aminu and ending with Apiashalaltogether ten kings who are ancestors”—and has often been interpreted as the list of ancestors of the Amorite Šamši-Adad I who had conquered the city-state of Aššur. The AKL also states that Yazkur-el had been both the son and successor of Yakmeni. Additionally, the AKL states that Yazkur-el had been both the predecessor and father of Ila-kabkabu.
