**Beka II Jaqeli** ([Georgian](/source/Georgian_language): ბექა II ჯაყელი) (1332 – 1391) was a Georgian [prince](/source/Prince) (*[mtavari](/source/Mtavari)*) and ruler of **[Samtskhe](/source/Samtskhe-Saatabago)** from 1361 to 1391. He was appointed as [Atabeg](/source/Atabeg) by his paternal relative, Georgian king [Bagrat V](/source/Bagrat_V_of_Georgia). From 1372 he ruled [Meskheti](/source/Samtskhe-Saatabago) with his brother [Shalva](/source/Shalva_Jaqeli). Shalva died in 1389 and was replaced by his son, [Aghbugha I](/source/Aghbugha_I_Jaqeli). Beka II's authority in [Samtskhe](/source/Samtskhe) was lost during [Timur's invasion of Georgia](/source/Timur's_invasion_of_Georgia). After Timur's devastating campaigns, Beka II turned away from king [Bagrat](/source/Bagrat_V_of_Georgia) and surrendered to the enemy.[1] He died in 1391, leaving Atabeg's throne to his son, [Ivane](/source/Ivane_II_Jaqeli), who shared power with Aghbugha until 1395. The [Jaqeli](/source/Jaqeli) dynasty lasted via Beka II's descendants.
