Sumu-epukh
King of the kingdom of the Yamkhad (Alep), which reigned at the beginning of the XVIIIè front century J. - C., until 1781. It is one of the most powerful kings of its time.
It appears in the sources of Mari, where the local king Yakhdun-Lim rejects his alliance with the profit of that with the city of Eshnunna. This does not seem to have rained in Sumu-epukh, which then supports a revolt of nomads in the kingdom of Husband, who is finally subdued.
Husband passes thereafter under the control of Samsi-Addu, founder of the Royaume of High-Mésopotamie. This one chooses to be combined in Qatna, and Yamkhad is found then taken between these two adversaries. A war bursts, which does not see any winner.
Sumu-epukh dies a little later whereas its relations with its neighbors were calmed. His/her son Yarim-Lim Ier succeeds to him.
