 | | Eventually, Ashurbanipal reconquered Babylon, and the coalition disbanded. | | | The death of Ashurbanipal opened the way to catastrophic strife between his sons for the throne of Assyria. | | | However, some evidence would suggest that Ashurbanipal and Kandalanu are the same person, and that he simply decided to use a fictitious name for the kingship over Babylon. |

| | The Arabs subdued, Ashurbanipal sent his troops against his former protégé the King of Elam, who had accepted bribes from the rebellious King of Babylon and given him assistance. | | | Ashurbanipal, therefore, released the prisoners and put his stake on Necho, whose ancestors had reigned over the whole of Egypt. | | | Sumer and Akkad were pacified and Ashurbanipal put on the throne of Babylon a shadowy figure called Kandalanu, of obscure origin. |

| | Although he was king in Assyria by inheritance from his father Esarhaddon, (son of Sennacherib) and had protected his older brother's kingdom in north Babylon as well, Ashurbanipal eventually was forced to fight and take over north Babylon when a rebellion there was led against him by his own brother, Shamash-shum-ukin. | | | Though their plots were usually discovered and quelled, their support this time for Chaldeans from Babylon proved one too many Elamite thorns in the side of Ashurbanipal. | | | Finding his brother dead in the skirmish, perhaps from suicide, he proceded to kill surviving rebel leaders |

| | The findings of spies and secret affairs of state were held secure from access in deep recesses of the palace much like a modern government archive. | | | The actual cataloging activities under Ashurbanipal's direction would not be seen in Europe for centuries. | | | Some rooms were devoted to history and government, others to religion and magic and still others to geography, science, poetry, etc. Ashurbanipal's collection even held what could be called classified government materials. |

| | Petrie believed that the conditions which prevailed in the time of Ashurbanipal were those which existed at the time of Piankhi's invasion, this on the assumption that Piankhi invaded Egypt 50 years before the arrival of Esarhaddon. | | | As Ashurbanipal moved toward the tiny Phoenician buffer state of Musur in south-eastern Anatolia, Gyges decided to halt his advance and sent troops to support Tushamilki, its king. | | | Tushamilki is not an Egyptian name - it is east Semitic, almost certainly Phoenician.[26] Already on his third campaign Ashurbanipal had encountered Abimilki and Ahimilki, sons of Iakinlu, king of Arvad. |

| | If the latter, his restoration of Manasseh was paralleled in the instance of Necho, the vassal king of Memphis and Sais, who also had revolted from Assyria; for he was accorded similar treatment, being sent back to Egypt with special marks of favor, and reinstated upon his throne. | | | The leaders of the insurrection were carried to Nineveh in fetters. | | | Another reference in the Old Testament, at least to one of the acts of Ashurbanipal, is the prophecy of Nahum, who in predicting the downfall of Nineveh, said, "Art thou (Nineveh) better than No-amon?" This passage is illustrated by the annals of the king, in which he recounts the destruction of the city. |

| | Commentary on the Book of Judith |
| | They claim to find similarities especially in regard to Ashurbanipal's war with the Median Phraortes, and the Judæan king Manasseh's being held by the Assyrians in Babylon, leaving Jerusalem temporarily king-less; this last accounting for the fact that there is no Judaean king mentioned in the entire Judith narrative. | | | Others have suggested that the period in question was c.352 BC, when Artaxerxes 'Ochus' is thought to have invaded Palestine en route to Egypt, and "Holofernes", a Cappadocian prince, fought against Egypt [4]. | | | To give one example, Ashurbanipal never suffered the kind of reverse at the hands of the Jews that was suffered by "Nebuchednezzar". |
