 Larsa Rim-Sin 26

 THE MYTH OF ADAPA
Yet he was the least of the city-kings, and a new order of things began with the rise of Babylon.
With the rise of Babylon and the political unification of the whole country under this metropolis, the city-god Marduk, whose name does not occur on any inscription previous to Hammurabi, leaps to the foreground.
Sin, the moon, was the god of Ur; Shamash, the sun, was the god of Larsa and Sippar; when the two towns of Girsu and Uruazaga were united into the one city of Lagash, the two respective local deities, Nin-Girsu and Bau, became man and wife, to whom Gudea brought wedding presents.

 Sumeria and Larsa
The days of Larsa were numbered, however, for Hammurabi of Babylon, who had long been determined to destroy his most dangerous enemy, defeated Rim-Sin in 1763 BC and substituted his own authority for that of Larsa over southern Mesopotamia.
This act apparently caused little disruption in the economic life of Larsa, and this was in fact a most prosperous period, as many thousands of business documents attest.
Larsa modern Tall Sankarah, was one of the ancient capital cities of Babylonia, located about 20 miles (32 km) southeast of Uruk (Erech; Arabic Tall al-Warka'), in southern Iraq.

 The Greatness That Was Babylon Excerpt 60)
Larsa's defeat of Isin fell at the very end of the reign of Sin-Muballit of Babylon,
The simultaneous expansion of Larsa in the south and Babylon in the north inevitably led in the end to conflict between these two powers, but it would be an over simplification to regard a struggle between these two city-states as the key to the history of Mesopotamia during the succeeding century.
Waves of semites invaders from the desert continued to thrust into Babylonia and politically the fragmentation of the Isin Kingdom, which began to appear in the reign of Ishme-Dagan, was strongly marked at the time of Lipit-Ishtar.

However, just as Larsa defeated Isin, Hammurabi came to power in the city of Babylon.
Sumer had been a powerful kingdom in the western part of Asia, and it had roughly occupied the land that was one day to become Babylonia.
Ten or fifteen kings follow Hammurabi of Babylon, the same number follow [Larsa], the same number follow [Eshnunna], the same number follow [Qatanum]..." etc. Five kingdoms are listed, all of which are considered to be just about as powerful, except for one, which has twenty kings following it (rather than fifteen).

 Larsa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Larsa is mentioned in Babylonian inscriptions as early as the time of Ur-Gur, 2700 or 2800 BC, who built or restored the ziggurat (stage-tower) of E-Babbar, the temple of Shamash.
Larsa (the Biblical Ellasar, Genesis 14:1), was an important city of ancient Babylonia, the site of the worship of the sun-god, Shamash, represented by the ancient ruin mound of Senkereh (Senkera).
Politically it came into special prominence at the time of the Elamite conquest, when it was made the centre of Elamite dominion in Babylonia, perhaps as a special check upon the neighbouring Erech, which had played a prominent part in the resistance to the Elamites.

 A General History of the Near East, Chapter 2
Meanwhile the king of Larsa died in battle with Babylon, and an Elamite noble, Kudur-Mabuk, claimed the throne for his son, Warad-Sin (1834-23).
Lagash, Elam, and perhaps Uruk were taken not long after that, and now Larsa was the leader of the south.
Hammurabi made his first move in the sixth year of his reign, advancing south against Larsa and east against Eshnunna.

 Larsa:
At Larsa Nebuchadrezzar rebuilt the temple of sun-god (sun-god was a son of moon-god & was particularly associated with Sippar & Larsa).

The art form of Larsa, was a little different from those of the traditional Sumerian Ur III kings, terracotta achieved a new significance as an artistic medium, and among the smallest antiquities of the period are enormous number of clay plaques, poor men’s dedications to the temple.

 Babylon
Larsa regained its autonomy for some time, and the walls of Ur, Uruk, and Larsa were leveled.
Hammurabi played skillfully on the instrument of coalitions and became more powerful than his predecessors had been.
This was on a scale reminiscent of Akkad or Ur Yet Ashur and Nineveh cannot have formed part of this empire for long because at the end of Hammurabi's reign mention is made again of wars against Subartu--that is, Assyria.

 Rediff On The NeT: Ayodhya isn't that Ayodhya, says archaeologist
According to him, Ram-sin, whose name is read in the Indus seals as Ramasana, was the son of Kudur Mabug (or Mabhana in the Indus seals) and reigned in Larsa (Modern Sankera in Iraq).
Before his accession to the throne of Larsa in Sumer, Ram-Sin's brother Arad-Sin ruled for 12 years.
Under Kudur Mabug and his two sons, Larsa rose to prominence and controlled all Sumerian cities, like Isin, Larsa, Ur, Umma, Lagash, Opis, Elam and the Indus valley.

Naplanum was king of Larsa from 2025–2005, but it was Samium (1976–1942) who established Larsa as a rival power to Isin.

 Amorites
Larsa was toppled by the Babylonian empire of Hammurabi (founded ca1792), who was himself an Amorite.
Under Gungunun (ca1932-ca1906), Larsa absorbed Ur, which by then was finished as a political power.
However, the Amorites did not make a significant linguistic imprint in Mesopotamia and by the time of Hammurabi's empire they were fully integrated Akkadian-speaking Mesopotamians.

 bible.org: ISBE
The fact that the history of Kudur-lachgumal (?) forms the subject of a poetical legend suggests that the texts mentioning these kings may have belonged to a kind of historical romance, of which Chedorlaomer (Amraphel), Arioch, and Tidal were the heroes--and, in truth, this is implied by their style.
(1) A dedication, by Kudur-mabuk, "father of Martu" (Amurru, the land of the Amorites), son of Simti-Silchak, of some sacred object to the Moon-god Nannar, for his own life and that of Eri-Aku, his son, the king of Larsa.
These inscriptions and others show that Eri-Aku belonged to an Elamite family which held the throne of Larsa, a state which, in common with Babylonia itself, acknowledged the suzerainty of Elam.

 Ellasar (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
Its Sumerian name is given as Ararwa, apparently for Arauruwa, "light-abode," which, in fact, is the meaning of the ideographic group with which it is written.
The Semitic-Babylonians form of its name is (al) Larsa, "the city Larsa," a form which implies that the Hebrew has interchanged r and s, and transposed the final vowel.
In addition to the name Larsa, it seems also to have been called Aste azaga "the holy (bright, pure) seat" (or throne), and both its names were apparently due to its having been one of the great Babylonian centers of sun-god worship.

Assyriologists generally, and probably rightly, identify Arioch with Eri-Aku (which see), king of Larsa, Ellasar being for Al-Larsa (now Sinqara in central Babylonia).
Besides Larsa, Eri-Aku's inscriptions inform us that Ur (Muqayyar, Mugheir) was in the principality of which Larsa was the capital.
