{{Main|Shattuara II}}
According to the royal annals (A.0.77.1) of Assyrian king [[Shalmaneser I]] (1270s&ndash;1240s) King [[Shattuara II]] of Hanigalbat, rebelled against Assyrian control with the help of the Hittites and the nomadic [[Ahlamu]] around 1250 BC.<ref>Bryce 2005, p. 314</ref> Shalmaneser I claimed to have defeated the Hittites and Mitanni slaying 14,400 men; the rest were blinded and carried away. His inscriptions mention the conquest of nine fortified temples; 180 Hurrian cities were "turned into rubble mounds," and Shalmaneser "slaughtered like sheep the armies of the Hittites and the Ahlamu his allies." The cities from Taidu to [[Irridu]] were captured, as well as all of mount Kashiar to Eluhat and the fortresses of Sudu and Harranu to Carchemish on the Euphrates. Another inscription mentions the restoration of a temple to god [[Adad]] in [[Tell Barri|Kahat]], a city of Mitanni that must have been occupied as well.<ref>Grayson, A.
