 The Middle Assyrian king Assur-uballit is usually remembered as the first in a series of strong militaristic rulers who expanded the small state around Assur to the size of an empire demanding the acknowledgment of the other great powers of the time - Kassite Babylonia, the Hittites, and Egypt. The Middle Assyrian king Assur-uballit is usually remembered as the first in a series of strong militaristic rulers who expanded the small state around Assur to the size of an empire demanding the acknowledgment of the other great powers of the time - Kassite Babylonia, the Hittites, and Egypt.

 Nevertheless during Assur-uballit's reign a royal marriage was effected between the two Mesopotamian states, with Burnaburiash's son Karaindash marrying the Assyrian king's daughter Muballitat-Sherua. The heir from this union would presumably rule in both parties' interests. When the new king Karahardash ascended the throne however, he was murdered by 'Kassite troops' (Kuhrt pg. 352) and replaced by a man of their own choice. This resulted in a second invasion by Assur-uballit and elevation of another member of the Babylonian royal family - Kurigalzu II, to the throne. This king ruled Babylonia for many years, albeit in frequent conflict with Assyria. Nevertheless during Assur-uballit's reign a royal marriage was effected between the two Mesopotamian states, with Burnaburiash's son Karaindash marrying the Assyrian king's daughter Muballitat-Sherua.
