Adiabene

Adiabene (van die Griekse Ἀδιαβηνή, self afgelei van die Antieke Siriese Ḥaḏy’aḇ of Ḥḏay’aḇ) was ’n antieke koninkryk in Assirië.^[1]^[2]^[3] Sy hoofstad was Arbela (die hedendaagse Arbil in Irak).

Sy heersers het hulle in die 1ste eeu n.C. tot die Judaïsme bekeer.^[4] Koningin Helena (in Joodse bronne bekend as Heleni HaMalka) het na Jerusalem getrek waar sy paleise vir haar en haar seuns, Izates bar Monobaz en Monobaz II, laat bou het. Volgens die Talmoed het beide Helena en Monobaz groot bedrae aan die Tempel van Jerusalem geskenk.
