A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Gozan--in Mesopotamia, on the Chabour (Kg2 17:6; Kg2 18:11). Gozan is the name of the district, Chabour of the river.

Haran--more to the west. Abraham removed to it from Ur (Gen 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 (Gen 2:8). "A garden in Eden."

Telassar--now Tel-afer, west of Mosul [LAYARD]. Tel means a "hill" in Arabic and Assyrian names.
