Halparuntiya came to the throne after the defeat of Suppiluliuma, who was defeated by the Assyrians. The Assyrian king, Shalmaneser III, made Pattin into an Assyrian tributary, and Halparuntiya sent tribute in 857 and 853 BC. Tribute bearers of Halparuntiya are depicted on the Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser III, alongside those of Jehu, king of Israel.{{Cite book |last=Yamada |first=S. |title=The Construction of the Assyrian Empire: A Historical Study of the Inscriptions of Shalmaneser III (859-824 B.C.)
