Reign
Abba-El is known through his Royal Seal used by his descendant Niqmepa king of Alalakh as a dynastic seal,[1] in the seal he is described as the mighty king, servant of Hadad, beloved of Hadad, devotee of Hadad,[2] which were the titles that the old kings of Yamhad used.[3]
According to prof. Trevor Bryce Aleppo was restored by Abba-El father Sarra-El,[4] however other Historians such as Michael C. Astour consider Abba-El II to be the king who restored the kingdom.[5]
Aleppo recovered from the Hittite invasion and expanded its territory to some of its former lands including Alalakh, Niya and Ama'u.[6]
Succession
Abba-El immediate successor was his probable son Ilim-Ilimma I,[5][7] the father of Idrimi who continued the dynasty of Yamhad in Alalakh after Aleppo fell to the Mitannians in ca. 1525 BC.[4][8]
