Senusret II was the fourth pharaoh of the 12th Dynasty, who ruled only Upper Egypt at Thebes from 1298 to 1286 B.C. He succeeded his father Amenemhat II, and was succeeded by his son Senusret III. Not much is known about this pharaoh in the revised or traditional history.

Senusret was the son of Amenemhat II, who was the son of Senusret I, who was the son of Amenemhat I. He had only one known son, Senusret III.

In 1298 B.C., Senusret I died, and Amenemhat II became ruler of Lower Egypt. He appointed his son Senusret II to rule in the south. He had a very short reign of only 12 years, and his rule was very peaceful, with few events in the south of Egypt. During his rule, Amenemhat in the north established trade with the Levant and Ehud in Israel.
