gō´zan ( גּוזן , gōzān ; Γωζάν , Gōzán , Codex Vaticanus, Gōzár in 2 Kings 17:6 , Chōzár in 1 Chronicles 5:26 ): A place in Assyria to which Israelites were deported on the fall of Samaria ( 2 Kings 17:6; 2 Kings 18:11; 1 Chronicles 5:26 ). It is also mentioned in a letter of Sennacherib to Hezekiah ( 2 Kings 19:12; Isaiah 37:12 ). The district is that named Guzana by the Assyrians, and Gauzanitis by Ptolemy, West of Nisibis, with which, in the Assyrian geographical list ( WAI , II, 53, l. 43), it is mentioned as the name of a city ( âlu Guzana ; âlu Nasibina ). It became an Assyrian province, and rebelled in 759 bc, but was again reduced to subjection. See Habor; Halah .
