Until the Elan Epalti dynasty appeared.
Epalti Dynasty:
Epalti III, reigned: year.
During the reign of King Nu*r Atad of Larsa, Larsa was preoccupied with the war with the First Dynasty of Isin and almost gave up his rule over Elam.
In the same year, Epalti III, a descendant of the Simash dynasty, established the Epalti dynasty in the city of Anshan. From then on, Elam was freed from the rule of the Larsa dynasty.

After the death of Shamsh Atad I, the empire established by the Assyrian Ecaratus dynasty began to crumble, and the Elanguti dynasty began to invade the Greater and Lesser Zab River region westward.
At that time, the war for hegemony was raging in Mesopotamia, when the First Dynasty of Ising had fallen, and the original three kingdoms had become a confrontation between the two great powers of Babylon and Larsa, and the other powers of Mari, Eshnenna, Elam, Assyria Ekaratu, and Yamhad of Syria were standing side by side at the same time.
After the Second Ebra Dynasty was invaded by the Western Semitic Amorites and lost Syrian territory, the remnants of the Ebra Dynasty retreated to Mari and were occupied by Assyria.
Jasuma Atad was overthrown by the new king of Marai, Simri Limu, and was expelled back to Assyria.
After the second dynasty of Marui was destroyed by Assyria, the new king of Mari was originally a royal family of Mare, and had been taking refuge in Yamhad, which was established by the Amorites of Western Semite, a powerful country in Syria, and was later helped by Yaremrin, the king of Yamhard, and lent him troops to overthrow Assyria and get the throne of Marui.
In fact, the main problem is that the Assyrians were Eastern Semites, while the Yamhad were Western Semitic Amorites. Although the Maris were Eastern Semites, because of the hatred of destroying the country, they turned to Yamhard of the West Semitic Amorites for help, and got such an opportunity to weaken the Assyrian Ekaratu Dynasty established by the Eastern Semites, and Yamhard naturally did not miss it, and then Mari became a vassal state of Yamhard.
If Babylon wants to compete with the eastern powers, it must obtain a solid rear, and it is almost impossible to defeat Yamhard, who rules the entire Syrian region, at present, so Mari, as a subject of Yamhad, cannot be occupied, otherwise the two countries will have no buffer room. So the only viable way is to build alliances diplomatically.
Hammurabi is a West Semitic Amorite, and both the Yamhad are West Semitic Amorites, and even very close to each other, so it is not impossible for the two countries to form an alliance.
The Maris also faced the threat of Assyria and therefore needed the support of Babylon, and although Armhard did not take a stand, the Maris responded positively to Babylon's request for an alliance. The two countries formally entered into a military alliance. The Babylonian rear threat was largely lifted.
In the same year, with the strong backing of Mari, Hammurabi led a coalition army to defeat the Larsa dynasty and capture the two city-states of Uruk and Isin, the last two cities that were subject to Larsa and originally belonged to the First Dynasty of Isin, and both cities were happy to submit to Babylonian rule because of their former allies with Babylon.
As a result, the Larsa dynasty declined, and Babylon became the most likely state to unify Mesopotamia.
This caused panic among the nations, and the northern nations saw Babylon as the greatest threat, and in that year, the Elan-Epalti, Elanguti, Eshnenna, and Malekum formed an alliance to attack Babylon.
Hammurabi responded calmly and fought a decisive battle with the Marish army and the Eshnenna army in the city of Siritum, defeating the allied forces of various countries.
After this battle, the power of the Elanguti dynasty was severely weakened.
