Aššurnāṣirapli II (910 BCE – 859 BCE) was an Assyrian king from 883 BCE until his death in 859 BCE. He conquered Babylonia and Syria and enslaved their inhabitants. He tortured anyone who resisted by skinning, impaling, or tying them together into pyramids. In 876 BCE, his forces reached the Phoenician coast. He was succeeded by Salmānuašarēd III.[1]
