Šamši

[4] Zabibe's oath of allegiance was continued by Šamsi on taking the throne; she swore by the sun, the god of Arabia, that she would be loyal to Assyria.

Later, however, she changed her mind and rebelled,[4] joining an alliance made by Rezin of Damascus to fight the Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser III in 732 BCE.

[9] The Assyrian army under King Tiglath-Pileser III (ruled 745–727 BCE) had recently subjugated the land of Edom and now turned its attention to the anti-Assyrian forces in Arabia and the Levant.

According to the Assyrian records, Tiglath-Pileser attacked many Arab tribal areas and defeated Šamsi in the neighborhood of Mount Sa-qu-ur-ri (a place not identified).

An inscription records that 9,400 of her soldiers were killed, and in addition 5,000 bags of various types of spices, altars of gods, armaments including an ornamental staff of her goddess, and her estates were seized.
