Zabibe (also transliterated Zabibi, Zabiba,[1] Zabibah; Akkadian: 𒍝𒁉𒁉𒂊 Zabibê) was a queen of Qedar who reigned for five years between 738 and 733 BC.
She was a vassal of Tiglath-Pileser III, king of Assyria, and is mentioned in the Annals of Tiglath-Pileser III among a list of monarchs who paid tribute to the king in 738 BC.
[4] Israel Eph'al argues that, until the time of Assurbanipal, the title "king or queen of the Arabs" in Assyrian manuscripts was a general one accorded to leaders of the nomadic Bedouin tribes of the Syrian desert.
[4] So, he infers that Zabibe would have been properly titled "queen of the Qidri" (Qedarites).
[5] She was succeeded by another queen, Samsi, who also reigned for five years.
