Adad-nirari II is generally considered to be the first King of Assyria in the Neo-Assyrian period. He reigned from 912 to 891 BC. Because of the existence of full eponym lists from his reign down to the middle of the reign of Ashurbanipal in the 7th century BC, year one of his reign in 911 BC is perhaps the first event in ancient Near Eastern history which can be dated to an exact year, although the Assyrian King List is generally considered to be quite accurate for several centuries before Adad-nirari's reign, and scholars generally agree on a single set of dates back to Ashur-resh-ishi I in the late 12th century BC. ...more on Wikipedia about "Adad-nirari II"

When, despite being the youngest son, he was named successor by his father, his elder brothers tried to discredit him. Oracles had named Esarhaddon as the person to free the exiles and rebuild Babylon, the destruction of which by Sennacherib was felt to be sacrilegious. Esarhaddon remained crown prince, but was forced into exile at an unknown place beyond Hanilgalbat ( Mitanni), that is, beyond the Euphrates, most likely somewhere in what is now southeastern Turkey. ...more on Wikipedia about "Esarhaddon" Visit again http://www.shortopedia.com
