Igrish-Halam

Igrish-Halam or Igriš-Halab (fl.c. 2360 BC) was a king of the ancient city state of Ebla. His name means "(The god of) Halab has driven away (the opponent)", hence, the name might be a commemoration of an Eblaite victory that led to the incorporation of lands beyond the city of Halab.

He ruled for 12 years and was succeeded by his son Irkab-Damu who was a more vigorous ruler.

His reign was characterized by an Eblaite weakness, and tribute paying to the kingdom of Mari, with whom Ebla fought a long war. His battle with Iblul-Il of Mari at Sahiri was instrumental in this tribute payment.
