| VAITEH. Vaiteh
I., the king of the Arabs and son of Khazael (Hazail), who had sent tribute to
Esar-haddon. He succeeded his father, and was confirmed on the
throne by Esarhaddon, king of Assyria, to whom he had sent his
submission. The other Arabian chiefs conspired against him, and set
up an usurper named Wabu as an opponent. Upon that Vaiteh implored
the help of the Assyrians, who defeated the insurgents, and carried Wabu
captive to Nineveh. Despite these services Vaiteh joined the revolt
of Saul-mugina against Assur-bani-pal, together with his queen, Adiya, and
Ammuladi, king of Kedar. Half of his forces he despatched to Saul-mugina,
under Abiyateh and Aimu, the sons of Tehar; with the other half he overran
Edom, Ammon, Hauran, Moab, and Zobah. Here he was defeated, and fled
to Nathan, of Nabathea, who gave him up to Assur-bani-pal. The Arabs
then elected his nephew Vaiteh II., king in his place. Vaiteh II.,
the son of Bir-Dadda, and nephew of Vaiteh I., whom the Arabs elected king
in the place of his uncle, Vaiteh I. Abiyateh, who had been sent to
help Saul-mugina, after a vain attempt to cut his way through the Assyrian
camp round Babylon, surrendered, and offered to take service under
Assur-bani-pal. The latter proclaimed him king of Arabia; and he
agreed with Vaiteh II. to share the government together. He induced
Nathan, king of Nabathea, also to join the insurrection, but directly the
war began in earnest they were compelled to retreat; the Arabians wanted
water, and could not readily engage but in a succession of small
battle. The Assyrians therefore drove them through the desert to
Khadatta, Laribda, and Aialla, 600 or 700 miles from Nineveh. The
Nabatheans were defeated fifty miles from Aialla, and Vaiteh forty miles
beyond. After returning to Damascus, the Assyrian army again marched
into Arabia, defeating and capturing Abiyateh and his brother Aimu, who
were sent to Nineveh and flayed alive. (An Archaic Dictionary, Cooper,
1876).
