Nabû-šuma-iškun, inscribed mdnabû-šuma-iškunun,[i 2] and meaning "Nabû has set a name",[1] was king of Babylon, speculatively ca. 761 – 748 BC (see below for provenance), and ruled during a time of great civil unrest. He came from the Bīt-Dakkūri tribe,[i 3] a Chaldean group apparently unrelated to that of his immediate predecessor, Erība-Marduk.
