Enlil-nārārī, son of Aššur-uballiṭ I [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/thekingdomofassyria13631115bc/ashuruballiti/index.html], was the seventy-fourth monarch of Ashur. According to the Assyrian King List [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/kinglists/assyriankinglist/assyriankinglist/index.html#MiddleAss] (AKL), he was king for ten years and was succeeded by his son Arik-dīn-ili [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/thekingdomofassyria13631115bc/arikdinili/index.html], who in turn was followed by his son Adad-nārārī I [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/thekingdomofassyria13631115bc/adadnararii/index.html] (according to Adad-nārārī's own inscriptions and the N Nassouhi version of the AKL); note that the Khorsabad and SDAS recensions of the AKL record that Adad-nārārī was the son of Enlil-nārārī, rather than his grandson.
According to inscriptions of Adad-nārārī I [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/thekingdomofassyria13631115bc/adadnararii/index.html], Enlil-nārārī defeated a Kassite army (ša ummān Kaššî ināruma) and overcame every one of his enemies (u nagab zāʾerīšu qāssu ikšudu; text no. 1 [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/Q005738/] i 25-26). The first statement presumably refers to the battle between Enlil-nārārī and the Kassite king Kurigalzu II at Sugagi, a city located on the Tigris River; like Adad-nārārī's inscription, the Synchronistic History records an Assyrian victory (Grayson 1975, 159-160). The same event is narrated in Chronicle P, but with two significant differences: the Assyrian king with whom the Kassite king fights is Adad-nārārī I and Kurigalzu II is the victor (Grayson 1975, 175).
Only one inscription can be attributed confidently to Enlil-nārārī (text no. 1 [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/Q005728/]). This text some of the details his restoration work on the outer wall at Ashur. Grayson also tentatively attributes a second text to this monarch (text no. 1001 [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/Q005729/]), but since it describes the defeat of Kurigalzu II, the inscription could assigned to Enlil-nārārī or Adad-nārārī I.

Three clay cones from Aššur -- two of which are in Istanbul (Eski Șark Eserleri Müzesi of the Arkeoloji Müzeleri) -- are inscribed with a text recording Enlil-nārārī's work on the outer wall at Aššur. This successor of Aššur-uballiṭ I claims to have rebuilt that structure from the Craftsman's Gate to the Sheep Gate. The inscription is dated to the eponymy of [...]-Marduk. The third cone is now in the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago.

A stone tablet excavated at Aššur contains an inscription that appears to narrate the defeat of Kurigalzu, a Kassite king of Babylonia. Although the royal name is completely broken away, the text should be ascribed to either Enlil-nārārī or Adad-nārārī I [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/thekingdomofassyria13631115bc/adadnararii/index.html]; it has been arbitrarily assigned by A.K. Grayson to the former ruler. The present whereabouts of the stone are not known.
