    First Dynasty of Babylon 

This uses the traditional Middle Chronology, although there is now reason to believe it may be too early by as much as a century.

These rulers did not rule Babylon itself, but their numbering scheme was continued by later Kassite Kings of Babylon, and so they are listed here.

    Sealand Dynasty (Dynasty II of Babylon) 

This dynasty also did not actually rule Babylon, but rather the Sumerian regions south of it. Nevertheless, it is traditionally numbered the Second Dynasty of Babylon, and so is listed here.
