Igrish-Halam orIgriš-Halab[1] (fl.c. 2360 BC) was aking of the ancientcity state ofEbla.[2][3] His name means "(The god of)Halab has driven away (the opponent)", hence, the name might be a commemoration of an Eblaite victory that led to the incorporation of lands beyond the city of Halab.[4]
His reign was characterized by an Eblaite weakness, and tribute paying to the kingdom ofMari,[6][7] with whom Ebla fought a long war.[8] His battle withIblul-Il ofMari atSahiri was instrumental in thistribute payment.
