Wahibra (died 567 BCE) was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 26th Dynasty who ruled from 589 to 570 BCE. He backed the Kingdom of Judah in its war against Babylon, and his navy defeated the Phoenician city of Ṣūr. In 586 BCE, his forces failed to take Jerusalem in a siege and were defeated by Greek settlers in Kyrene, Libya. Following these military failures, his army mutinied and installed Iahmes II as the new pharaoh.[1]
