Shanip (Ammonite: 𐤔𐤍𐤁ŠNB; Akkadian: 𒊭𒉌𒁍, romanized: Ša-ni-pu) was king of Ammon in the mid eighth century BCE.[1]

Early life

We know nothing about his early life. Which king preceded him is unknown with a gap in between. However, he was succeeded by his son Zacchur.

Reign

Following Baasha until Shanip, there is a gap in the king lists. He may have been the successor of "Budili" who is known only from Assyrian transcribed tax lists.

Assyrian vassal

He is mentioned as a vassal of the Assyrian king Tiglath-Pilesar III.[2][3] Sanipu paid tribute to Tiglath-Pilesar III. This tribute included metals such as gold, silver, tin, and iron, as well as with antimony. Additionally, the tribute featured "linen garments with multicolored trimmings" [4]

He was probably succeeded by Peduel.
