Regnal titles of Kara-Hardasch II : King of the Babylonia c. 1333 BC
Kara-Hardasch II / Kara-Hardaš (also Kara-Hardasch; m Ka-ra-Har-da-aš, Babylonian probably Kadašman-Harbe), around 1333 BC. B.C., was a king of Babylonia . He was the son of Kassite Burna-buriaš II and Muballitat-Šerua, daughter of Aššur-uballit. According to Chronicle P, however, Kara-Hardas was a son of Kara-Indas (Kar-Ina-da-aš) and Muballitat-Šerua. Cassin sees Kadašman-Harbe as the son of Kara-indaš, which would make him significantly older than Aššur-uballit I himself.
Kara-Hardaš bore the title of LUGAL la šak-na-an, "king without equal". Soon after his accession to the throne, while still a minor, he fell victim to a rebellion, the Babylonians made a certain m Na-zi-Bu-ga-aš (or Šu-zi-ga-aš), the "son of no man" king, whereupon his grandfather intervened, expelled the usurper and installed Kurigalzu II ( ilu Ku-ri-Gal-zu), another son of Burna-Buriaš (or of Kara-Hardaš?) as ruler "on his father's throne".
After the death of Ashur-uballit, however, he turned against Ashur and carried the fight against Enlil-nirari even to Assyrian territory.
