[1] As the ruler of Elam during this portion of the Middle Bronze Age, Siwe-Palar-Khuppak was quite involved in the politics of the ancient Near East, and he forged strong relationships with the powers of Mesopotamia, including Babylon.
His brothers Shimut-wartash I and Kuduzulush I held high positions in Elamite government.
He led this coalition against Eshnunna, conquering it and imposed direct rule from his sukkal Kudu-zulush in Susa.
Hammurabi, allied with Zimri-Lim, expelled the Elamite's forces from Eshnunna[2] One of his generals was Kunnam of Elam who appears in many letters found at Mari.
[1] This hypothesis is supported by the fact that a twelfth-century document lists Siwe-Palar-Khuppak as one of Elam's great men.
