The wife of King Esarhaddon and the mother of his successor Ashurbanipal, she was married to Esarhaddon before he became king.

Esarhaddon built a large mausoleum for her, which was unusual for the burial of Assyrian queens, and her death was recorded in Babylonian records. She is the mother of the most prominent of Esarhaddon's sons, i.e. the mother of his daughter Shiru-Tirat and the sons Ashurbanipal and Shamash-shum-ukin. She died at the age of 40. She died while pregnant, and her death was one of the reasons for the increase in Esarhaddon's disease.

She is the wife of King Ashurbanipal, and they were married at a very young age. Some scholars suggest that her and Ashurbanipal’s age at the time of their marriage was 10 years. Lipali Sharat is considered the only queen mentioned in inscriptions before she became queen, even before her marriage to Ashurbanipal. She primarily hated Assyria and refused. He learned the Assyrian language, as a letter appeared from the daughter of Esarhaddon and the sister of Ashurbanipal, Siro Aitrat, scolding her for her refusal to learn the Assyrian language, as she was a queen of Babylonian origin.
