It is not easy to trace those events exactly, but it seems that first Sargon I (not the Sargon mentioned at Isaiah 20: 1) and then his grandson Naram - Sin moved against Ebla.
Tollastele sündmustele pole kerge jälile jõuda, kuid paistab, et esimesena ründas Eblat Sargon I (mitte see Sargon, keda mainitakse piiblitekstis Jesaja 20: 1) ning seejärel tema lapselaps Naramsin.
