Ishpuini (died 810 BCE) was the fourth king of Urartu. He expanded Urartu to Lake Urmia and established control over Musasir, another group of Urartian-speaking tribes. He built many temples and palaces and led raids to steal livestock from neighboring countries, but he did not destroy conquered territories like the Assyrians. The conquered kept some of their property in exchange for supporting the state. Ishpuini was the first king of Urartu to keep records in his own language instead of Akkadian.[1]

Ishpuini established the sky god Haldi, the sun god Siuini, and the rain god Teiseba as the three main gods. Haldi was the supreme god, and his temple was located at Musasir.[1]
