Gindibu (Akkadian: ; ) was a Qedarite Arab king. He is notable for being the first Arab to be mentioned in any Semitic language inscriptions thus far discovered and deciphered in the region's historical record.
==Reign== ===Background=== Gindibu ruled over an Arab kingdom located in the northeastern parts of present-day Jordan, on the eastern borders of the Assyrian province of Haurina (Hauran) established by Tiglath-Pileser III in 732 BC. The kingdom spanned the Azraq oasis and Wadi Sirhan, and was bordered by the powerful kingdoms of Aram-Damascus and Israel in the west, although Gindibu himself was independent of Damascene hegemony.
