About Beth-eden
A small Aramean (Syrian) state north of Damascus. Assyria conquered Beth-eden and forcibly sent its people to Kir (2 Kings 16:9). This fulfilled the prediction in Amos 1:5 (“house of Eden” in the King James Version). Beth-eden, which means “house of delight,” is connected to the Eden that is listed in Ezekiel 27:23. We do not know where it was. Its inhabitants are referred to as the “people of Eden” in 2 Kings 19:12.
