This ruler was supposedly punished by a deity with famine after suppressing a revolt in Subartu, and he had earlier dealt with an invasion led by four great Elamite generals. He began his reign following the defeat of a King of Umma, Lugulzaggesi, who had fought a war against Ur-Zababa. After taking Kish from Lugulzaggesi, he built his empire by extending trade from his capital city throughout to Susa and the Zagros mountains. He was succeeded by his sons Rimush and Manishtushu, and made his daughter Enheduanna the high priestess of Nanna. For 10 points, name this former sandal-bearer, a possible inspiration for the biblical Nimrod, a great king of Akkad.
