Reign
Ilim-Ilimma is known through the inscriptions found on the Statue of his Son Idrimi:[5] his queen belonged to Emar royalty,[6] and he had many children of which Idrimi was the youngest.[7]
Ilim-Ilimma was under the threats of king Parshatatar of Mitanni,[8] and a rebellion probably instigated by him ended Ilim-Ilimma's reign and life in ca. 1524 BC,[9] and the royal family fled to Emar.[10]
Dynasty's Fate
Aleppo came under the authority of Mitanni,[11] while Idrimi stayed in exile for seven years,[12] after which he conquered Alalakh and continued the dynasty as the King of Mukis.[13] Ilim-Ilimma I was the last king of the Yamhad dynasty to rule as King of Halab;[14] his grandchild Niqmepa might have controlled Halab, but as king of Alalakh.[15]
