The Battle of the Ulai River (called in modern times the Kerkha[2] or Karkheh River), also known as the Battle of Til-Tuba or the Battle of Tulliz, in c. 653 BCE, was a battle between the invading Assyrians, under their king Ashurbanipal, and the kingdom of Elam, which was a Babylonian ally. The result was a decisive Assyrian victory. Teumman,[3] the king of Elam, and his son Tammaritu were killed in the battle.
