[2] It is considered an Early Iron Age Aramaean settlement between the Balikh and the Euphrates rivers,[3] and extended westwards into northern Syria.

[6] 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.

[7] 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.

[8] An account described how the Assyrians attacked Bit Adini by crossing the Calah region between the Tigris and Euphrates.
