King Kapara (also Gabara) of Guzana (Tell Halaf) was the ruler of a small Aramaean kingdom of Bit Bahiani in the 10th or 9th century BC (Albright 1956 estimates ca. 950-875 BC). He built a Bit-hilani, a monumental palace in Neo-Hittite style discovered by Max von Oppenheim in 1911, with a rich decoration of statues and relief orthostats.

In 894 BC, the Assyrian king Adad-nirari II recorded the site in his archives as a tributary Aramaean city-state. In 808 BC the city and its surrounding area was reduced to a province of the Neo-Assyrian Empire.
