Quick Summary

Shamshi-Adad V was the king of Assyria from 823 to 811 BCE. He ascended to the throne during a period of rebellion against his father, Shalmaneser III. Shamshi-Adad V eventually regained the kingship with the assistance of Marduk-zakir-shumi I of Babylonia, though under difficult terms.1

As king, Shamshi-Adad V campaigned in southern Armenia and Azerbaijan with mixed success. He later turned his attention to Babylonia, engaging in battles against its kings. Despite pushing into Chaldea, he was unable to conquer Babylonia, which maintained its independence.1
