Gambuli

Gambuli^[1][2] so bili aramejsko pleme v stari Babiloniji.^[3] Bili so najmočnejše pleme ob vzhodni meji Babilonije^[4] oziroma na meji z Elamom.^[5] Njihovo natančno ozemlje je težko določiti.^[6] H. W. F. Saggs jih umešča "južno od reke Dijala proti elamski meji".^[3]

Ko je asirski kralj Sargon II. (vladal 722–705 pr. n. št.) začel vojno proti njim v mestu Dur-Abi-hara, je bilo odpeljanih v ujetništvo 18.430 Gambulov.^[7]

Gambuli so bili skupaj s Pekodi politično pomembni do 6. stoletja pr. n. št.
