How it ended, as its article says
Conquered by Hittites, -1600. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
The kingdom was eventually destroyed by the Hittites, then annexed by Mitanni in the 16th century BC.

5 rulers, 5 with terms dated as terms, covering 1810 BCE – 1700 BCE. Median reign 20 years. 1 of 4 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
