`DBH [vocalized as
`Azaba or
`Adhebah] (fl. 3rd century) was a king of
Axum, on the territory of modern-day
Ethiopia, who ruled c. 230–240. He and his son
GRMT (possibly vocalized as "Girma") are known through
South Arabian inscriptions which mention
Shamir, king of
Dhu-Raydan and
Himyar asking for his help against the
Sabaean kings.
