Aššur-nārārī IV

Aššur-nārārī IV (1018-1013 BC) was a son of Shalmaneser II (1030-1019 BC). According to the Assyrian King List [/riao/kinglists/assyriankinglist/assyriankinglist/index.html#Ashurdan] (AKL), in which he appears as the ninety-fourth ruler of Ashur, he reigned for 6 years and was succeeded by >Aššur-rabi II (1012-972 BC), son of Ashurnasirpal I (1049-1031 BC), the grandfather of Aššur-nārārī IV (1018-1013 BC) (Grayson 1986, 113). No royal inscriptions are known for this king. A stele from the so-called "row of steles" at Ashur with no inscription preserved must belong either to him or to Aššur-rabi II since it was discovered between the steles of Shalmaneser II and Aššur-rēša-iši II (971-967 BC), son of Aššur-nārārī IV (Grayson 1991, 125).
