History
Early Bronze
In the middle of the third millennium BC, the Kingdom of Haddu flourished and controlled the middle Khabur valley.2
Ebla-Mari War
It was ruled by its own monarch who was a vassal of Ebla,3 and fought against the kingdom of Mari.4 The king of Haddu declared to Mari's ambassador that he "I and Ebla have a pact of peace. And the oath of the pact is before Kura (the main Eblaite god) and before Hadda".5
