Tiglath-Pileser I., not only names him in his invocation, but represents himself as ruling especially under his auspices.

Asshur-izir-pal mentions Asshur and Shamas as the tutelary deities under whose influence he carried on his various wars.

His son, the Black-Obelisk king, assigns to Shamas his proper place among the gods whose favor he invokes at the commencement of his long Inscription.

The kings of the Lower Empire were even more devoted to him than their predecessors.

Sargon dedicated to him the north gate of his city, in conjunction with Vul, the god of the air, built a temple to him at Khorsabad in conjunction with Sin, and assigned him the third place among the tutelary deities of his new town.
Sennacherib and Esarhaddon mention his name next to Asshur's in passages where they enumerate the gods whom they regard as their chief protectors.
Excepting at Khorsabad, where he had a temple (as above mentioned) in conjunction with Sin, Shamas does not appear to have had any special buildings dedicated to his honor.
