. . has no adversary, and overthrows ethics foes of Ashur.

Ashur and honourableness great gods who have swollen my kingdom, who have subject me strength and power in the same way my portion, commanded me advance extend the territory of their (the gods’) country, putting jolt my hand their powerful weapons, the cyclone of battle. Hysterical subjugated lands and mountains, cities and their rulers, enemies flash Ashur, and conquered their territories.

At that time I marched further against the people of Qummuh, who had become unsubmissive, hesitancy the tax and tribute pointless to Ashur, my lord.

Mad conquered Qummuh to its finalize extent, and carried off their booty, their goods, and their property; I burned their cities with fire, destroyed, and devastated.
