=== Death === After the death of Shamshi-Adad I, Eshnunna captured cities around Assur.<ref name="Mieroop" /> When the news of Shamshi-Adad I's death spread, his old rivals set out to topple his sons from the throne. [[Yasmah-Adad]] was soon expelled from Mari by [[Zimri-Lim]] (fl. c. 1775 BC – c. 1761 BC), and the rest of the empire was eventually lost during the reigns of Išme-Dagān I and [[Mut-Ashkur]], first to a coalition of Mari, Andarig, and Eshnunna, then to another Amorite ruler, [[Hammurabi]] of Babylon (fl. c. 1792 BC – c. 1750 BC)<ref>Lewy, Hildegard. “The Historical Background of the Correspondence of Baḫdi-Lim.” Orientalia, vol. 25, no. 4, 1956, pp. 324–52.</ref>
