Commentary
Parts of both the obverse and reverse are preserved and the extant text of the obverse provides a shorter account of the events narrated in text no. 1 (Nineveh A) ii 40–64, iii 39–46 and 71–78. When possible, the restorations are based on that inscription.

The right column describes the rebellion of Nabû-zēr-kitti-līšir and corresponds to text no. 1 (Nineveh A) ii 55–58. The contents of the left column have not yet been identified. This text is commonly referred to as Fragment C (Frt. C).

Two clay tablets contain a letter to the god Aššur describing Esarhaddon's campaign against the land Šubria in 673 BC. The text is written in a literary style that makes use of flowery language and a great deal of dialogue in the form of direct quotations from diplomatic exchanges. The letter, like the prologue of text no. 1 (Nineveh A), may have been composed for ceremonies held on the occasion of the nomination of Ashurbanipal and Šamaš-šuma-ukīn as heir designates of Assyria and Babylon in Ayyāru (II) 672 BC. This text is sometimes referred to as Esarhaddon's "Letter to God," "Letter to Aššur," or "Gottesbrief" (Gbr. I–II).

Commentary
K 7599 is Tablet 1 of the pair and only the first fifteen lines of col. ii are preserved. Tablet 2, which is much better preserved, is represented by K 2852 + K 9662. Parts of the upper, left, and right edges, as well as both faces, are preserved. The two tablets do not appear to have been written by the same scribe.
