Jump to: navigation, search

Gindibu was king of Damascus who led the Arab forces at the battle of Qarqar (853 BCE) as they fought against Assyria. An Assyrian scribe recorded a description of the size of the Arab infantry, this record "is the first known reference to the Arabs as a distinct group."[1] Little else is known of him or the Arabs of his time.
