Gozan: A region in Central Asia to which the Israelites were carried away
captive
(2 Kings 17:6; 1 Chronicles 5:26; 2 Kings 19:12; Isaiah 37:12) It was situated in
Mesopotamia, on the river Habor
(2 Kings 17:6; 18:11) the Khabur, a
tributary of the Euphrates. The "river of Gozan"
(1 Chronicles 5:26) is
probably the upper part of the river flowing through the province of
Gozan, now Kizzel-Ozan.
