Kudur-Enlil, rendered in cuneiform as Ku-dur dEN.LÍL (c. 1254–1246 BC short chronology), "son of Enlil,"[1] was the 26th king of the 3rd or Kassite dynasty of Babylon.
[3] He succeeded Kadašman-Enlil II and was possibly the first Kassite king to have a wholly Babylonian name,[4] or one containing an Elamite derived word, from kudurru,[5] which might be middle Assyrian.
A daughter of Babylon was married into the Hittite royal family, possibly to Tudhaliya IV, a younger son of Ḫattušili III who went on to succeed him.
This would have been a daughter or sister of Kudur-Enlil and the news elicited contempt from Ramesses II, king of Egypt, who apparently no longer regarded Babylon significant.
[10] Kudur-Enlil extensively refurbished the Enlil Temple in Nippur, with its baked-brick bench or socle lining the base of all except the northeast outer walls.
