Aššur-rabi II, inscribed maš-šur-RA-bi, "(the god) Aššur is great,"[1] was king of Assyria 1012–972 BC. Despite his lengthy reign (41 years), one of the longest of the Assyrian monarchs, his tenure seems to have been an unhappy one judging by the scanty and laconic references to his setbacks from later sources.
