Zabaia
Zabaia (or Zabaya) ruled the ancient Near East city-state of Larsa from 1941 BC to 1932 BC (MC). He was an Amorite and the son of Samium.
A brick inscription found at Larsa reads, "Zabaya, Chief of the Amorites, son of Samium, re-built the Ebabbar" (Zabaya rabian Amurri mar Samium Ebabbara ipus). The E-babbar is a temple of the god Shamash. An alternate reading is the he "built" the Ebabbar". This is the only known textual mention of Samium outside the Larsa King List. A damaged clay cone found at Mashkan-shapir carries a similar text. Larsa ruler Abisare also used the "Chief of the Amorites" title.
