Esarhaddon also successfully appointed a woman who had been raised at the Assyrian royal palace, Tabua, as queen of the Arabs and allowed her to return to and govern her people. In another episode, Esarhaddon invaded the country of Bazza in 676 (assumed to be located in the east of the Arabian Peninsula) after being petitioned for aid by a local king of a city called Yadi. The campaign apparently saw the Assyrians defeating eight kings of this region and granting their conquests to the king of Yadi.
