Zabaia

Zabaia governed the ancient Near East city
of Larsa from around 1941 BC to 1932 BC. He was an Amorite and the son of
Samium.
A brick inscription found at Larsa reads, "Zabaya, Chief of the Amorites, son of Samium, re-built the Ebabbar". The E-babbar is
a temple of the god Shamash. An alternate reading is the he "built" the Ebabbar". This is the only known textual mention of Samium outside the Larsa King List. A damaged clay cone found
at Mashkan-shapir carries a similar text. Larsa ruler Abisare also used
the "Chief of the Amorites" title.
