12<\/strong>. as Gozan<\/em> ] The R.V. omits the italic ‘as’ both here and in the parallel place in Isaiah. On Gozan<\/em> see above 2Ki 17:6<\/span> note.<\/p>\n and Haran<\/em> ] The LXX. gives for this place , as in Gen 27:43<\/span>, thus identifying it with the place where Abraham dwelt after leaving Ur of the Chaldees. The town of Haran [still called Harran<\/em> ] is in the midst of the district which lies under Mt. Masius between the Khabour and the Euphrates.<\/p>\n and Rezeph<\/em> ] This name is found in several places in the neighbourhood of the Euphrates, where from the situation of the other cities mentioned with it, this Rezeph most likely was situated. Two places, one on the west and one on the east of the Euphrates have been put forward as the city here mentioned but we have no means of deciding more than that the place was not far distant from the others named along with it.<\/p>\n the children of Eden which<\/em> were in Thelasar<\/em> ] R.V. Telassar<\/strong>. This latter form is the orthography of A.V. in the parallel verse in Isaiah. Of the position of this Eden<\/em> it is impossible to say more than that it was probably somewhere in the north west of Mesopotamia, whither Assyrian conquest had spread in the times just preceding Sennacherib, and to which he would intend now to call attention. The LXX. omits this name in the parallel place in Isaiah. Telassar must have been the chief seat of these children of Eden, the capture of which broke down the people. In Eze 27:23<\/span>, Eden is again joined with Haran, and with Asshur. Hence some confirmation may be drawn for placing the people in the upper Mesopotamian plain.<\/p>\n All the places above named are additional to those given by Rab-shakeh in his recital of Assyrian victories (2Ki 17:34<\/span>).<\/p>\n Haran – <\/B>Harran, the Carrhae of the Greeks and Romans Gen 11:31<\/span>, was among the earliest conquests of the Assyrians; being subject to them from the 12th century. Its conquest would have naturally followed that of Gozan (Gauzanitis, 2Ki 17:6<\/span>), which lay between it and Assyria proper.<\/P> Rezeph – <\/B>Probably the Rozappa of the Assyrian inscriptions, a city in the neighborhood of Haran.<\/P> The children of Eden – <\/B>Or, the Beni-Eden, who appear from the Assyrian inscriptions to have inhabited the country on the east bank of the Euphrates, about the modern Balis. Here they had a city called Beth-Adina, taken by the Assyrians about 880 B.C. This is probably the Eden of marginal reference.<\/P> Thelasar – <\/B>Or Telassar. Probably a city on the Euphrates, near Beth-Adina, called after the name of the god Asshur. The name would signify the Hill of Asshur.<\/P> <\/p>\n Several places about or beyond Euphrates. See Gen 11:31<\/span>; Eze 27:23<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n [See comments on 2Ki 19:1]<\/span><\/p>\n (12) My fathers.<\/strong>Sargon his father founded the dynasty; but he speaks of his predecessors generally as his fathers.<\/p>\n Gozan.<\/strong>2Ki. 17:6<\/span>.<\/p>\n Haran.<\/strong>Also a west Aramean town, mentioned by Tiglath Pileser I. (circ. 1120 B.C. ) Shalmaneser II. speaks of its conquest. It had a famous sanctuary of the moon god Sin. (See Gen. 11:31<\/span>.)<\/p>\n Rezeph<\/strong>.The Assyrian Raappa,<\/em> a town of Mesopotamia, often mentioned in the inscriptions.<\/p>\n The children of Eden.<\/strong>Schrader identifies this community with Bt-Adini<\/em> (the house of Eden), often mentioned by Assurnirpal and Shalmaneser II. The latter records his defeat of Ahuni, <\/em>son of Eden, a phrase which exactly corresponds to the children (sons) of Eden here. It lay on both banks of the middle Euphrates, between the present Blis<\/em> and Birejik.<\/em><\/p>\n Thelasar.<\/strong>Heb., Tlassar,<\/em> the Assyrian Tul-Assuri<\/em> (Mound of Assur). More than one place bore the name.<\/p>\n 12<\/strong>. <\/strong> Gozan <\/strong> The district on the upper Habor. See note on 2Ki 17:6<\/span>. <\/p>\n Haran <\/strong> Also in Mesopotamia, but lying some distance northwest of Gozan. Here Abraham abode for a time after leaving Ur of the Chaldees, (Gen 11:31<\/span>,) and here a Roman army under Crassus was defeated by the Parthians. It is called Carrae, <\/em> by the classical writers, and Charran <\/em> in Act 7:4<\/span>. It is doubtless identical with the modern Haran, which is situated on the river Belik, one of the branches of the upper Euphrates. Rezeph <\/strong> is still a common name in the East, and applied to a number of cities. Most interpreters incline to identify this Rezeph <\/em> with a place in eastern Syria which Ptolemy calls Resapha. <\/em> It is about a day’s journey west of the Euphrates. <\/p>\n Children of Eden which were in Thelasar <\/strong> This last name should be written Telassar, <\/em> and may signify the hill of Asshur; <\/em> so called, perhaps, from some shrine which the Assyrians had there erected to Asshur. Eden <\/em> would seem to be a district of which Telassar was a chief city, but no trace of either has been found.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n 2Ki 19:12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; [as] Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which [were] in Thelasar?<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Ver. 12. Have the gods of the nations, &c.<\/strong> ] See on 2Ki 19:10<\/span> . <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Which my fathers have destroyed.<\/strong> ] God was not in all this man’s thoughts. Hic Deus nihil fecit; <\/em> but he should have known that he and his fathers or predecessors, those scourges of mankind, were but as rods in God’s hand, which, when worn to the stump, he cast into the fire.<\/p>\n Have the gods: 2Ki 18:33, 2Ki 18:34 <\/p>\n Gozan: 2Ki 17:6, 1Ch 5:26 <\/p>\n Haran: Gen 11:31, Gen 29:4, Act 7:4, Charran <\/p>\n Rezeph: Rezeph was probably either Rezapha, which Ptolemy places in the Palmyrene, west of the Euphrates; or rather, Rezipha, in Mesopotamia, east of the Euphrates. <\/p>\n Eden: Gen 2:8, Isa 37:12, Telassar, Eze 27:23 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 1Ki 20:23 – Their gods 2Ch 32:17 – As the gods Psa 46:10 – know Isa 10:10 – the kingdoms Isa 16:12 – but Isa 36:18 – Hath<\/p>\n Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; [as] Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which [were] in Thelasar? 12. as Gozan ] The R.V. omits the italic ‘as’ both here and in the parallel place in Isaiah.
