To bring justice and peace to his people.
In Hammurabi's own words on the tablet: "[the gods} Anu and Bel Marduk called by name me, Hammurabi, the exalted prince, who feared Marduk, the patron god of Babylon, to bring about the rule in the land." Hammurabi himself doesn't get more specific than that. But it figures that apart from divine inspiration, Hammurabi must have decided that one code of law for his whole kingdom would strenghten its unity and raise his own prestige very considerably. Which it did, by all accounts.
