Ilīsharaḥ Yaḥḍub (c. 60 – 130 CE) was a king of Saba' reigned in 120 – 130 CE.
At the very beginning of the second century CE, the territory of Sabaʾ was under the control of the Ḥimyarite king ʿAmdān Bayyin Yuhaqbiḍ (c.100–120 CE). In the meantime, Ilīsharaḥ Yaḥḍub prince (qayl) of the tribe of dhū-Shibāmum, fraction of Bakil (CIH 140), [1] [2] rose up against the kingdoms of Qatabān, Ḥimyar, Ḥaḍramawt, and the principality of Radmān and claimed the title of “King of Sabaʾ and dhū-Raydān”. [3] He ruled over a newly independent Sabaean kingdom, with the support of families belonging to the old Sabaean aristocracy of Maʾrib (Ir 3, RES 4150) [4] and tribes from the western highlands: Dhamarī (Ja 568), [5] Maʾdhinum (Fa 94 + 95, Gar Ḍulaʿ 1), [6] [7] Ḥāshidum (Gr 184), [8] dhū-Hagarum (Ja 413).
