Hadadezer
Hadadezer ; also known as Adad-Idri, and possibly the same as Bar-Hadad II or Ben-Hadad II, was the king of Aram Damascus at the time of the battle of Qarqar against the Assyrian king Shalmaneser III in 853 BC. He and Irhuleni of Hamath led a coalition of eleven kings at Qarqar. He fought Shalmaneser six other times, twice more with the aid of Irhuleni and possibly the rest of the coalition that fought at Qarqar.
According to the Book of Kings and to an inscription of the Assyrian king Shalmanesser III, Hadad-Ezer was succeeded by Hazael.
