Shalmaneser I

[4] He incorporated the remains of the Mittanni kingdom as part of one of the Assyrian provinces.

Shalmaneser I also claimed to have blinded 14,400 enemy prisoners in one eye.

He was one of the first Assyrian kings who was known to deport his defeated enemies to various lands rather than simply slaughtering them all.

He conquered the whole country from Taidu to Irridu, from Mount Kashiar to Eluhat, and from the fortresses of Sudu and Harranu to Carchemish on the Euphrates.
