Vers. 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 at Telasser? 13. Where is the King of Hamath, and the King of Arpad, and the King of the Cities of Sepharuaim, Henah, and Ivah?

Mention is made of Gozan, in 2. King. 17.6. And thence we may gather that it was a City of the Medes, although others affirm that it was situated in another Country: but it sufficeth that it stood eastward from Judea.
