Yarim-Lim I
Yarim-Lim I, also given as Yarimlim, (died c. 1764 BC) was the second king of the ancient Amorite kingdom of Yamhad in modern-day Aleppo, Syria.
Yarim-Lim was the son and successor of the first king Sumu-Epuh and his queen consort Sumunna-Abi.
His wife was Gashera, of unknown parents. She outlived her husband and became a strong-willed widow who was part of politics during the reign of Hammurabi.
Their daughter Shibtu married Zimri-Lim of Mari.
The kingdom of Yamhad was being threatened by the Assyrian king Shamshi-Adad I who had surrounded Yamhad through his alliance with Carchemish and Urshu to the north, Qatna to the south, and conquering Mari to the east, appointing his son Yasmah-Adad on its throne. Yarim-Lim ascended the throne after his father was killed during his campaigns against Shamshi-Adad. He was able to stand up to Shamshi-Adad. Hammurabi and Ibal-pi-el II were his allies.
Around 1777 BC, Yarim-Lim conquered the city of Tuttul. He appointed his ally, Zimri-Lim, the heir to the throne of Mari, as king. When Shamshi-Adad I died around 1776 BC, he helped Zimrilim regain his throne in Mari and oust Yasmah-Adad. Two days after the marriage ceremony, queen Sumunna-Abi died.
Ibal-pi-el II of Eshnuna exploited the death of Shamshi-Adad I to pursuit an expansionist policy, advancing on the account of Assyria and causing stress to the alliance. He later allied himself with Elam, the enemy of Hammurabi who was Yarim-Lim's ally.
Zimri-Lim's ascension to the throne with the help of Yarim-Lim I affected the status of Mari, Zimri-Lim referred to Yarim-Lim as his father and acted under the guidance of the Yamhadite main deity Hadad, of which Yarim-Lim was the mediator.
