The Assyrian kings of the late tenth and early ninth centuries campaigned in the west and helped to reestablish regional control through infrastructure…

However, it is Ashurnasirpal II (r. 883-859 B.C.E. BC)… Shalmaneser III (r. 858-824 B.C.E. BC)… between 853 and 845 B.C.E. BC…the wife of Shamshi-Adad V (r. 823-811 B.C.E. BC)

King Ashurnasirpal II
Queen Shammuramat

Weren’t there any Als or Joes or Petes back then??

They could have saved a lot of time in introductions with simpler names :)

From the map, it seems almost certain that many of them were nimrods.
