Gozan

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.
