Asnap´per, the name of the king, or possibly Assyrian satrap, who sent the Cuthean colonies into Palestine (Ezra 4:10). Taking him for king of Assyria, he is generally identified with Esarhaddon, although some believe the name to denote Salmanezer. The title ('most noble') which is given to him belonged to the satraps.
