A practice repeatedly attested in the Neo-Assyrian period was the appointment of a substitute king. When omens predicted that the king's life was in danger, a man was selected to replace him temporarily and the true king went into hiding, to reappear only once the danger had passed (and the substitute king probably was murdered).
