Yadih-Abu (E4.23.3[1]) inherited from his predecessor a kingdom along the Euphrates and the Khabur that could well be compared with that of the destroyed city of Mari.
At Tell Taban (Ṭābatum), a number of clay tablets mention him and about ten year-names of him are known from which building activities in Araite, Ṭābatum (Tell Taban), Dunnum and Terqa are evident.
Yadih-abu was succeeded by one Kaštiliašu, a person with a clearly Kassite name who did not belong to the house of Puzurum and was probably no more than a deputy of Samsu-iluna.
[2] He is mentioned in the 28th, 29th, 30th and 31st years names of Samsu-Iluna of Babylon (r. 1749-1712 BCE).
Year 28 of Samsu-Iluna (1722 BC): Year in which Samsu-iluna the king by the command of Enlil, by the wisdom and strength given by Marduk, crushed like a mountain with his terrifying szita-weapon and his mace the hostile kings Iadihabum and Mutihurszan/Mutihursag.
