Eden

Eden, also spelled as Edem in the Septuagint (LXX), was a city or region mentioned in the Old Testament. It is referred to as a place conquered by the Assyrians (2Ki.19.12; Isaiah 37:12) and as a trading partner of Tyre (Ezk.27.23). The exact location of Eden is uncertain, but it was likely situated in Mesopotamia or Syria, given its association with the Assyrians and its trade relations with Tyre. It should not be confused with the Garden of Eden, as they are separate places. The biblical references to Eden provide little information about its history or significance, but its mention in the context of Assyrian conquests and Tyrian trade suggests that it was a place of some importance in the ancient Near East.
