Yahdul-Lim (died c. 1745 BC) was a king of Carchemish proposed to have reigned between 1764 and 1745 BC. During this period, the information about Carchemish mostly comes from the archives of Mari, Syria.[1]
Family
[edit]Son of Aplahanda, he succeeded his brother Yatar-Ami.[1] Little is known about his reign.[2]
Alternatively: Ya‘dun-Li’im, son of Bin-Ami, and successor of Yatar-Ami on the throne of Karkemish. Moreover, this new find makes it clear that Ya‘dun-Li’im was not a son of the famous Aplah-Anda, as was erroneously held previously, but rather a scion of a secondary branch of the royal family.[3]
Reign
[edit]Yatar-Ami may have been a client of Mari. Yahdul-Lim, on the other hand, may have returned back to an alliance with Yamhad. This probably happened after Hammurabi conquered Mari around 1761 BC. Thereafter the history of Carchemish is unknown for a considerable time.[1]
