Shuqamuna and Shumaliya

Šuqamuna (^dšu-qa-mu-na) and Šumaliya (^dšu-ma-li-ia) were a pair of deities introduced to Mesopotamia during the Kassite dynasty of Babylonia. They had a close association with the royal family; the pair of gods are referred to as 'the gods of the king' (ilu (šá) šarri), with Šuqamuna being the 'king's god' (il šarri) and Šumaliya his patron goddess (lamassi šarri). Šuqamuna and Šumaliya are the only two Kassite gods known to be referenced outside of theophoric personal names and some poorly preserved glossaries, and they are the only ones to consistently receive a divine determinative.^: 18
