Marduk-apla-iddina I, contemporarily written in cuneiform as 𒀭𒀫𒌓𒌉𒍑𒋧𒈾 ᵈAMAR.UTU-IBILA-SUM-na and meaning in Akkadian: "Marduk has given an heir",[1] was the 34th Kassite king of Babylon c. 1171–1159 BC (short chronology). He was the son and successor of Meli-Shipak II, from whom he had previously received lands, as recorded on a kudurru,[i 2] and he reigned for 13 years.[i 3] His reign is contemporary with the Late Bronze Age collapse. He is sometime referred to as Merodach-Baladan I.
