Kadašman-Ḫarbe I, inscribed in cuneiform contemporarily as Ka-da-áš-ma-an-Ḫar-be and meaning “he believes in Ḫarbe (a Kassite god equivalent to Enlil),” was the 16th King of the Kassite or 3rd dynasty of Babylon,[1] and the kingdom contemporarily known as Kar-Duniaš, during the late 15th to early 14th century BC. It is now considered possible that he was the contemporary of Tepti Ahar, King of Elam, as preserved in a tablet[i 1] found at Haft Tepe in Iran. This is dated to the “year when the king expelled Kadašman-KUR.GAL,”[nb 1] thought by some historians to represent him[2] although this identification (KUR.GAL = Ḫarbe) has been contested.[3] If this name is correctly assigned to him, it would imply previous occupation of, or suzerainty over, Elam.[4]
