Isaiah 37:12

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 Telassar?

Gozan - in Mesopotamia, on the Chabour (; ). Gozan is the name of the district, Chabour of the river.

Haran - more to the west. Abraham removed to it from Ur (), the Carroe of the Romans.

Rezeph - further west, in Syria.

Eden - there is an ancient village, Adna, north of Bagdad. Some think Eden to be the name of a region (of Mesopotamia or its vicinity) in which was Paradise; Paradise was not Eden itself (, 'a garden in Eden).

Telassar - now Tel-afer, west of Mosul (Layard). Tel means a hill in Arabic and Assyrian names.
