Amraphel
In the Bible, Amraphel was a king from the time of Abraham. He was
king of Shinar, southern Chaldea, one of the confederates of
Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, in a war against Sodom and the cities of
the plain. It is now believed that this is the person which in
non-biblical history is known as Hammurabi, and who was the first
to rule over all of Sumer, starting the Babylonian empire.
