Igrish-Halam

2360 BC) was a king of the ancient city state of Ebla.

[2][3] His name means "(The god of) Halab has driven away (the opponent)", hence, the name might be a commemoration of an Eblaite victory that led to the incorporation of lands beyond the city of Halab.

[4] He ruled for 12 years[5] and was succeeded by his son Irkab-Damu who was a more vigorous ruler.

His reign was characterized by an Eblaite weakness, and tribute paying to the kingdom of Mari,[6][7] with whom Ebla fought a long war.

[8] His battle with Iblul-Il of Mari at Sahiri was instrumental in this tribute payment.
