Bit Bahiani was an independent Aramaean city-state kingdom (~1200-808 BC) and an Assyrian province (~810-706 BC) with its capital at Guzana (modern day Tell Halaf). Bit Bahiani was ruled by King Kapara. After becoming a tributary to Assyria an alliance with Izalla to revolt was formed. There were at least five kings and four governors of Bit Bahiani before losing its name in usage.
