Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 37:12

_ _ Gozan — in Mesopotamia, on the Chabour (2 Kings 17:6; 2 Kings 18:11). Gozan is the name of the district, Chabour of the river.

_ _ Haran — more to the west. Abraham removed to it from Ur (Genesis 11:31); the Carroe of the Romans.

_ _ Rezeph — farther west, in Syria.

_ _ Eden — There is an ancient village, Adna, north of Baghdad. Some think Eden to be the name of a region (of Mesopotamia or its vicinity) in which was Paradise; Paradise was not Eden itself (Genesis 2:8). “A garden in Eden.”

_ _ Telassar — now Tel-afer, west of Mosul [Layard]. Tel means a “hill” in Arabic and Assyrian names.

Matthew Henry's Commentary
