Hissalel ben Amminadab was an Ammonite king of the late seventh century BCE, reigning approximately 620 BCE. He is mentioned on an inscription on a bronze situla found at Tel Siran in Jordan. The 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]
