Bit Adini, a city or region of Syria, called sometimes Bit Adini in Assyrian sources, was an Aramaean state that existed as an independent kingdom during the 10th and 9th centuries BC, with its capital at Til Barsib (now Tell Ahmar).[1] The city is considered one of the two chief states of the Aramean-held territories in the Euphrates along with Carchemish.[2]
It is considered an Early Iron Age Aramaean settlement between the Balikh and the Euphrates rivers,Шаблон:Sfn and extended westwards into northern Syria.Шаблон:Sfn Some sources also refer to it as a Neo-Hittite kingdom due to the discovery of Hittite hieroglyphic inscriptions.[3] It is usually thought to have been in the bend of the Euphrates River, south of Carchemish.
There are scholars who associate Bit Adini with Beth Eden, which may mean "house of evil" or "house of delight".[4]
History
Шаблон:Arameans Bit Adini was ruled by a figure called Ahuni (also referred to as Akhuni[2]) during the mid-ninth century BC and became part of a territory that included the Neo-Hittite city Masuwari, Asmu, Dabigu, Dummetu, Kaprabu, and La'la'ru.Шаблон:Sfn Bit Adini was mentioned in ancient inscriptions such as the case of the recorded claim of Adad-Nirari II (911-891) that he received a gift of "large female monkey and small female monkey" from the city.[5] Bit Adini has also exerted some degree of power and influence based on its interactions with Assyria. For instance, Bit-Adini - together with Babylon - supported the unsuccessful rebellion under Assurnasirpal I's reign in the states of Suhu (Suru[2]), Hindanu, and Laqe.Шаблон:Sfn
In 883, during Assurnasirpal II's rule, a figure from Bit Adini was brought in to rule the Assyrian province of Bit-Halupe after a rebellion and the killing of its governor.Шаблон:Sfn An account described how the Assyrians attacked Bit Adini by crossing the Calah region between the Tigris and Euphrates.[6] Ahuni, the then ruler of the kingdom, submitted and gave tribute.[6]
In 856-5 BC, the kingdom was conquered and absorbed into the Assyrian Empire[3] during the reign of Shalmaneser III.
