Naplimma was a king of Qatna in c 1450 BC.[1] The Egyptian pharaoh Thutmose III recorded his subjugation of Qatna and attending an archery contest with its king;[2] Naplimma lived 5 generations before the Amarna Age and he could very well be the king who entertained Thutmose.[3] His name was West Semitic.[4] Inventories of gifts offered to the goddess Ninegal discovered in Qatna have Naplimma as the earliest king to donate which might indicate that he started the donations tradition.[5] He was succeeded by his son Sînadu.[6]
