A king of Larsa (1834-1822 BC), possibly the Biblical Ellasar, (Genesis 14:1), was an important city of ancient Mesopotamia. The name is semitized as Eri-Aku, and this variant appears in inscriptions.

He ruled Larsa for twelve years, and was followed by his son, Rim-Sin I. His father was Kudur-Mabuk and Ward-Sin does not seem to have ruled entirely independant of his father during the first half of his reign. After that, he seems to gain some autonomy from his powerful father.
