Esarhaddon had a great mausoleum constructed for her, unusual for burials of Assyrian queens, and had her death recorded in the Babylonian Chronicles.

Ešarra-ḫammat might have been the mother of Esarhaddon's most prominent children, i.e. the daughter Šērūʾa-ēṭirat and the sons Ashurbanipal and Shamash-shum-ukin.

[7] Although Esarhaddon was also only about 40, and would rule for a few more years, no incumbent queen is known from the sources after his death, and the position is obviously absent from preserved lists of officials from this time.

[7] This grave was not just a simple site, or placed within the palace (as was the case for some earlier queens);[13] Esarhaddon had a great mausoleum constructed for Ešarra-ḫammat[14][15] and he had her death recorded in the Babylonian Chronicles.

In 2013, the Assyriologist David Kertai assumed the daughter referenced to be Šērūʾa-ēṭirat, and suggested that the daughter-in-law could be Libbāli-šarrat, the wife of Ashurbanipal.

Partially quoting Ashurbanipal's words, Adad-šumu-uṣur presented the following account:[19] "Ashur and Shamash ordained me to be the crown prince of Assyria because of her [Ešarra-ḫammat's] righteousness".
