Hadadezer
Hadadezer (or Hadad-Ezer or Adad-Idri) was the king of Damascus at the time of the battle of Karkar. He, along with Irhuleni of Hamath, led a coalition of eleven kings (listed as twelve) against the Assyrian king Shalmaneser III, at Karkar, and fought Shalmaneser six times with the aid of Irhuleni twice more and possibly the rest of the coalition that fought at Karkar. He appears again in the Tel Dan Stele as most likely the unknown author's father. He was succeeded by Hazael after he was suffocated in the night by him. Some accounts claim that Hazael was in fact his son.
