The Elamite War (c. 1765 BC - c. 1764 BC) was a war that was fought in the Middle East.[1][2][3]


In order to consolidate its position, Elam tried to start a war between Babylon and Larsa.[4] Babylon and Larsa made an alliance when they discovered this duplicity.[4] Elam then began an invasion of Babylon. Around 1765 BC, Upi was captured by Elam after a siege. They then retreated for the rest of the year. Around 1764 BC, Yamhad sent an army of 10,000 troops to aid Babylon and Larsa,[5] while Elam put the city of Hiritum under siege. They retreated after the city was relieved by a Mari army. Despite being allied to Babylon, Larsa remained neutral during the war.
