The Battle of Dur-Papsukkal in 814 BC was fought by the Assyrian king Shamshi-Adad V against the Babylonian king Marduk-balassu-iqbi, some Elamite allies, and few Aramean tribes settled in Babylonia. After quelling internal rebellions, King Shamshi-Adad V undertook a series of campaigns against Babylonia. After capturing and spoiling several cities, he marched upon the royal city of Dur-Papsukkal. According to Shamshi-Adad V's own inscriptions, he took the city after his troops slayed 13.000 soldiers. Afterwards, he looted its treasures and captured the palace women before razing and burning it.
