Aramean king From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
King Kapara (also Gabara) was an Aramean king of Bit Bahiani,[1] one of the Post-Hittite states, centered in Guzana (modern Tell Halaf, in northeastern Syria).[2] He ruled sometime in the 10th or 9th century BCE, according to some estimations ca. 950-875 BCE.[3] He built Bit-hilani, a monumental palace in Post-Hittite style, discovered by Max von Oppenheim in 1911, with a rich decoration of statues and relief orthostats.
