Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Joshua 15:25

And Hazor, Hadattah, and Kerioth, [and] Hezron, which [is] Hazor,

Hazor, Hadattah possibly it should be read as one word, Hazor-hadattah, as there is Hazar-gaddah, Jos 15:27, and Hazar-shual, Jos 15:28, such compounded proper names being usual; and this may seem the more probable, because if Hazor and Hadattah were two different cities, the conjunction and would have been put between them, as it is generally in the rest.

Which is Hazor, or, which also is called Hazor; but to distinguish it from the other Hazor, Jos 15:23, this was called also Hezron.

And Hazor, Hadattah, and Kerioth, [and] Hezron, which [is] Hazor. According to the Targum, two cities only are here meant, which reads, “and Hazorhadattah, and Keriothhezron, which is Hazor”; and this reading seems to be right; there were three Hazors in this tribe, one in Jos 15:23, and two more here, which are distinguished; the first is called Hazorhadattah, or new Hazor; of which Jerom says e, there is a village at this day called Asor, in the borders of Ashkelon, to the east of it, which fell to the lot of the tribe of Judah; the Scripture makes mention of it, calling: it new Asor, to distinguish it from the old; and Keriothhezron is the same with Hezron, Jos 15:3; and had also the name of Hezron. From this place Judas Iscariot is thought to have his name, being Ishceriot, a man of Keriot.

Hazor: Or, rather, Hazar-hadattah, or, as the LXX, Alexandrian, and Vulgate render , Asor nova, “New Hazor,” to distinguish it from the preceding (Jos 15:28), and following Hazor. Eusebius and Jerome say it was a village in their time, on the eastern confines of Askelon.

Kerioth: Or, rather, Kerioth-Hezron: LXX (Alex. ) , “the cities (city) of Hezron.” Jos 15:25
