شمشي-عضد الرابع Šamši-Adad IV ، يُنقَش ^mdšam-ši-^dIM، كان ملك آشور، 1054/3–1050 ق.م.، وهو رقم 91 في قائمة ملوك آشور.^{[i 1]}^{[i 2]} وهو ابن Tukultī-apil-Ešarra I (1114–1076 ق.م.)، ثالث من اعتلى العرش، بعد شقيقيه Ašarēd-apil-Ekur و Ashur-bel-kala، وقد اغتصب المُلك من ابن الأخير، الأقصر عهداً Erība-Adad II (1055–1054 ق.م.). ومن المحتمل جداً أنه كان كبيراً في السن إلى حد ما حين استولى على العرش.

السيرة

تذكر قائمة ملوك آشور أنه “ينحدر من كاردونياش (أي بلاد بابل). وقد أطاح بـ Erība-Adad, son of Aššur-bêl-kala, seized the throne and ruled for 4 years.” The king of Babylon was Adad-apla-iddina, who had been installed more than a decade earlier by Šamši-Adad’s brother, Ashur-bel-kala. The extent to which he was instrumental in the succession is uncertain but it seems that Šamši-Adad may have earlier sought refuge in exile in the south.^[1]

The Synchronistic Kinglist^{[i 3]} gives Ea-, presumed to be Ea-mukin-zēri (c. 1008 BC), as his Babylonian contemporary,^[2] an unlikely pairing as he was likely to have been concurrent with the latter kings of the 2nd dynasty of Isin during its dying throes. The political events of his reign are obscure and his fragmentary inscriptions are limited to commemorating renovation work carried out on the Ištar temple at Nineveh and the bīt nāmeru, “gate-tower,” at Aššur.^[3]

He would be succeeded by his son, Aššur-naṣir-apli I.
