Amminadab (Ammon)

Amminadab (Ammon)

Amminadab ("my people are generous") was the name of two kings of Ammon:

# Amminadab I ruled c. 650 BCE, mentioned in Assyrian inscriptions from the reign of Assurbanipal. He was one of the rebellious client kings punished by Assurbanipal during the latter's Arabian campaign.
# Amminadab ben Hissalel or Amminadab II reigned around 600 BCE. He was the son of King Hissalel of Ammon.
*Both kings are mentioned on an inscription on a bottle unearthed at Tel Siran in Jordan, which inscription reads: "mndb mlk bn'mn / bn hsl'l mlk bn'mn / bn'mndb mlk bn'mn" "Amminadab (II) son of Hassal'il son of Amminadab (I)." [http://v2.archaeological-center.com/articles/8.shtml]
