Pedubast II was a Pharaoh of Egypt associated with the 22nd or more likely the 23rd Dynasty. Not mentioned in all King lists, he is mentioned as a possible son and successor to Shoshenq V by Aidan Dodson and Dyan Hilton in their 2004 book, The Complete Royal Families of Ancient Egypt. They date his reign at about 743-733 BC, between Shoshenq V and Osorkon IV.[1]
Jürgen von Beckerath places Pedubast II within the reign of Piye and in the 23rd Dynasty and proposes a reign of about 736-731 BC for this Egyptian pharaoh. The exact length of Pedubast's II's reign is uncertain.[2] Pedubast II may have been the son of Iuput II and the then serving nomarch in Athribis because the king list of Piye places next to Osorkon IV, a Pedubast who is called a Prince of Athribis.
Pedubast's II's royal name or prenomen was Sehetepibenre and he is attested as a king at Tanis--or at least a local Delta ruler who controlled this city--by several stone blocks found there bearing his royal titulary.[3] Kenneth Kitchen, however, prefers to date Pedubast II's at around the time of the Assyrian invasion under Ashurbanipal in the mid-660's BC.[4] Such is the degree of uncertainty surrounding this king's timeline during Ancient Egypt's Third Intermediate Period.
