 According to Marc Van de Mieroop, Idrimi was unhappy at Emar for being an "underling".There is no scholarly debate that is adequate enough to explain why Idrimi chose to live among the Habir in Canaan, though it is psychologically clear that Idrimi got along well with the other refugees.It was because they went through a similar experience of being uprooted from their own hometowns.
