Ashur-etil-ilani was a king of Assyria (c. 631 BC – c. 627 BC). He succeeded his father Ashurbanipal.
The reconstruction of the events occurring during Ashur-etil-ilani’s rule has proven to be very difficult. One noteworthy problem is the complete absence of sources from central Assyria covering this time, and the lack of official recordings of events (e.g. royal inscriptions). The most important source for this period is the “Nabopolassar Chronicle,” which, however, is quite fragmentary for this period.
