Marduk-apla-iddina II had returned from Elam after the death of Sargon and ignited rebellion in Babylonia.

Briefly recapturing the throne from a native Babylonian nobleman, he had been able to enter Babylon and again be declared king in 703 BCE.

Defeated nine months later near Kish by the Assyrians, he had managed to flee to Elam, and dies in exile a couple of years later.
