Bilalama was a 20th century BCE ruler of Eshnunna, an ancient Mesopotamian kingdom located in the Diyala Valley in modern Iraq.
[3] The names of both Bilalama and Kirikiri are Elamite, which according to Katrin de Graef might indicate that a dynastic change occurred in the city after the reign of their predecessor Nūr-aḫum [pl].
[8] His daughter, Mê-Kūbi [pl] married king Tan-Ruhuratir [de] of Elam, as documented in an inscription commemorating the construction of a temple of Inanna in Susa.
[13] As indicated by an inscription identified on a stamped brick from the palace excavated in Eshunna, Bilalama used the titles "governor (ensi) of Eshnunna" and "beloved of Tishpak".
[14] Tishpak was the tutelary god of the city,[15] and was customarily seen as its king, with human rulers serving as governors on his behalf, similarly to how their contemporaries in Der and Assur were seen as representatives of Ištaran and Ashur, respectively.
