Aššur-uballiṭ II, also spelled Assur-uballit II and Ashuruballit II (Neo-Assyrian cuneiform: Aššur-uballiṭ, meaning "Ashur has kept alive"), was the final ruler of Assyria, ruling from his predecessor Sîn-šar-iškun's death at the Fall of Nineveh in 612 BC to his own defeat at Harran in 609 BC.
Sîn-šar-iškun's fate is unknown but it is assumed that he died in the defense of his capital. He was succeeded as king only by Aššur-uballiṭ II, possibly his son, who rallied what remained of the Assyrian army at the city of Harran .
In the letters, Ashur-uballit refers to his second predecessor Ashur-nadin-ahhe II as his "father" or "ancestor," rather than his actual father, Eriba-Adad I, which has led some critics of conventional Egyptian chronology, such as David Rohl, to claim that the Ashur-uballit of the Amarna letters was not the same as Ashur-uballit I.
Ashur-uballit II (late seventh century b.c.) The last monarch of the Assyrian Empire. Following the destruction of Nineveh and other Assyrian cities by the Medes and the Babylonians in about 612 to 611 b.c., Sin-shar-ishkun, the last surviving son of King Ashurbanipal, was killed.
