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,[1] and few Aramean tribes settled in Babylonia.

After quelling internal rebellions, King Shamshi-Adad V undertook a series of campaigns against Babylonia.[1] After capturing and spoiling several cities, he marched upon the royal city of Dur-Papsukkal.[2] According to Shamshi-Adad V's own inscriptions, he took the city after his troops slayed 13.000 soldiers.[2] Afterwards, he looted its treasures and captured the palace women before razing and burning it.[2][3]

Babylonian King Marduk-balassu-iqbi did not arrive in time to save the city[1] and, with his allied forces of Chaldeans, Elamites, Kassites and Arameans, faced the Assyrians near the city.[2] Shamshi-Adad V claimed victory.[2][3] This battle marked the limit of their advance on Babylonian lands for the year. He did not subdue Marduk-balassu-iqbi until the following year.[1]
