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 Thelasar?
¿Acaso los dioses de las naciones salvaron a los pueblos que mis antepasados destruyeron? ¿Qué pasó con Gozán, Harán, Resef y la gente de Edén que vivía en Telasar?

📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 8th century BC, the Assyrian king Sennacherib was besieging Jerusalem and using intimidation tactics against King Hezekiah of Judah. He boasted about his empire's conquests by listing cities like Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and Thelasar that his ancestors had destroyed, claiming that the gods of those nations failed to protect them. This was part of a larger effort to undermine faith in the God of Israel and assert Assyrian dominance.
