Shublugal

In ancient Mesopotamia, a shublugal, meaning slave of the king(with Lugal meaning king),[1] was a slave who lived in a temple,[2][3] like gurush and iginidug, but this type was more numerous.[4] In times of peace, the sovereign gave lands to people who exploit, and at times of war, they forced them to take part in the king's campaign.[4]

They were free workers who received lands from the kings in return for their labour.[5] They were at the service of a foreman.[6][7] The administrator of the temple could take away their livestock or homes with or without compensation.[8]
