Ila-kabkabu
The Amorite name Ila-kabkabu appears twice in the Assyrian King List:Ila-kabkabu appears within the Assyrian King List among the “kings whose fathers are known”,Ila-kabkabu of Terqa is also mentioned as the father of one other king named within the Assyrian King List: Šamši-Adad I. Šamši-Adad I had not inherited the Assyrian throne from his father, but had instead been a conqueror. Ila-kabkabu had been an Amorite king not of Aššur, instead; Ila-kabkabu had been king of Terqa during the same time as that of the King Iagitlim of Mari According to the Mari Eponyms Chronicle, Ila-kabkabu had seized Shuprum, then Šamši-Adad I had, “entered his father's house,” :163 Šamši-Adad I had subsequently conquered a wide territory and had emerged as the king of Assyria, where he had founded an Amorite dynasty.
Arising from the two appearances of the name "Ila-kabkabu" within two different places of the Assyrian King List, the “kings whose fathers are known” section has often, although not universally been considered a list of Šamši-Adad I's ancestors. In keeping with this assumption, scholars have inferred that the original form of the Assyrian King List had been written among other things as an, “attempt to justify that Šamši-Adad I was a legitimate ruler of the city-state Aššur and to obscure his non-Assyrian antecedents by incorporating his ancestors into a native Assyrian genealogy.” According to this interpretation, both instances of the name would refer to the same man, Šamši-Adad I's father, whose line would have been interpolated into the list.
