Luli
king of Phoenicia
Also known as: Elulaios
Luli (flourished 705 bc) was a Phoenician king of the cities of Tyre and Sidon who rebelled against Assyrian rule following the death of the Assyrian king Sargon II. Concurrent with the insurrection of Babylon under Merodach-Baladan, Luli joined with Shabaka of Egypt and Hezekiah of Judah in a revolt against Sennacherib, Sargon’s successor. After subjugating the Babylonians in 703–702, Sennacherib led an army against Luli, who abandoned Tyre and fled to Cyprus.
