Reign
Some twenty-one year-names survive for his reign, including the first seventeen. The names indicate that these years were fairly peaceful ones for the kingdom of Ammī-ṣaduqa, who was primarily engaged in enriching and enlarging the temples, and a few other building projects, such as building a wall at the mouth of the Euphrates in his eleventh regnal year.<ref>Year-names for Ammi-Sadduqa</ref> On his death, Ammī-ṣaduqa was succeeded by his son, Samsu-ditāna,<ref>Rients de Boer, "The Members of the Royal House of Old Babylonian Babylon," Isin (2021/2) 27–43: 37–38.</ref> the last king of the Amorite dynasty.
