Abba-El I

Abban (written Abba -AN, may also be read Abba'il ) followed about 1751 BC (middle chronology ) as the new king of Jamchad to the throne. He was the eldest son and successor of Hammurabi I, whose second son Jarim -Lim has been assigned by him the city Alalah to rule.

At the beginning of his reign had to take action against a revolt of the neighboring city-states Abban. Irride, the royal residence of his brother Jarim -Lim, was thereby completely destroyed. Therefore Jarim -Lim asked Abban to assign a new city. The agreed between the brothers Treaty of territory of the Kingdom of Jamchad documented the birth of the independent Kingdom of Muki, which, however, was politically bound by the instructions of Abban and his successors.
