Rabshakeh, Cup-bearer to King If. xxxvii. 12. 2 Kings xix. 12.Sennacherib, tells Hezekiah, that the Gods of the Nations could not deliver out of his Master’s Hands the Children of Eden that were at Telassar, or Thelasar. The exact Situation of this Province is unknown, but it is thought to be towards Armenia and Mesopotomia, and about the Sources of the Euphrates and Tigris, because of the Children of Eden, that inhabited this Country.
