Shanip
King of Ammon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Early life
We know nothing about his early life. Which king preceded him is unknown with a gap in between. However, he was succeeded by his son Zacchur.
Reign
Following Baasha until Shanip, there is a gap in the king lists. He may have been the successor of "Budili" who is known only from Assyrian transcribed tax lists.
Assyrian vassal
He is mentioned as a vassal of the Assyrian king Tiglath-Pilesar III.[2][3] Sanipu paid tribute to Tiglath-Pilesar III. This tribute included metals such as gold, silver, tin, and iron, as well as with antimony. Additionally, the tribute featured "linen garments with multicolored trimmings" [4]
He was probably succeeded by Peduel.
