Samsi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Samsi (also Shamsi) was an Arab queen who reigned in the 8th century BCE. As an ally of Rakhianu of Damascus, she fought the Assyrian king Tiglath-Pileser III in 732 BCE. After her forces were defeated, she fled the battlefield.[1] Later, she went to Assyria to pay tribute to the king and was permitted to reign, under official Assyrian supervision.[1] Samsi's predecessor was Zabibe, and her successor Yatie.
