Kuri-galzu II.

Kuri - galzu II, reigned 1332-1308 BC, referred to in the sources as Kurigalzu ṣicḫru ( = the younger or young ), a king of Babylonia from the Kassite ( Kassu ) dynasty. He bore the title of "King of the whole " ( Šar kissati ).

The synchronistic story tells of a victory Enlil - niraris in Sugagi on the Tigris about Kuri - galzu II, in which those have captured all his stock.

Kuri - galzu II led war against Subartu and Elam under the king Ḫurpatila. Maybe it was Kurigalzu II, which devastated Elam and Susa himself occupied. But the historical context is evidence to assign appropriate resources to the same ancestor Kurigalzu I., who led the kassitisch - Babylonian Empire at its peak and the new capital of major Kurigalzu built (about 1390 BC).. A statue from Susa bears the inscription " Kurigalzu, defeated the king of the entirety of Susa and Elam and destroyed them Marḫaši. " Also a consecration inscription from the Enlil temple in Nippur reports of the victory over Elam. An agate plate, which was consecrated Dungi, had the Elamite king Kutir - nahhunte III. once captured and brought to Susa, where they in turn captured Kuri - galzu and consecrated in Nippur to Enlil.

From his reign about 150 business texts and some votive texts, often handed down on small stone objects.
