Hazor
(Heb. Chatsor’, , village SEE HAZER-; Sept. , but ) in Jer 49:28; Jer 49:30; Jer 49:33), the name of several places. SEE EN-HAZOR; SEE BAALHAZOR; SEE HAZOR-HADATTAH; SEE HAZERIM.
1. A city near the waters of lake Merom (Huleh), the seat of Jabin, a powerful Canaanitish king, as appears from the summons sent by him to all the neighboring kings to assist him against the Israelites (Jos 11:15). He and his confederates were, however, defeated and slain by Joshua, and the city burned to the ground (Jos 11:10-13; Josephus, Ant. 5, 5, 1): being the only one of those northern cities which was burned by Joshua, doubtless because it was too strong and important to leave standing in his rear. It was the principal city of the whole of North Palestine, the head of all those kingdoms (Jos 10:10; see Jerome, Onomast. s.v. Asor). Like the other strong places of that part, it stood on an eminence (, Jos 11:13, A.V. strength), but the district around must-have been on the whole flat, and suitable for the maneuvers of the very many chariots and horses which formed part of the forces of the king of Hazor and his confederates (Jos 11:4; Jos 11:6; Jos 11:9; Jdg 4:3). But by the time of Deborah and Barak the Canaanites had recovered part of the territory then lost, had rebuilt Hazor, and were ruled by a king with the ancient royal name of Jabin, under whose power the Israelites were, in punishment for their sins, reduced. From this yoke they were delivered by Deborah and Barak, after which Hazor remained in quiet possession of the Israelites, and belonged to the tribe of Naphtali (Jos 19:36; Jdg 4:2; 1Sa 12:9). Solomon did not overlook so important a post, and the fortification of Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer, the points of defense for the entrance from Syria and Assyria, the plain of Esdraelon, and the great maritime lowland respectively, was one of the chief pretexts for his levy of taxes (1Ki 9:15).. Later still it is mentioned in the list of the towns and districts whose inhabitants were carried off to Assyria by Tiglath-Pileser (2Ki 15:29; Josephus, Ant. 9:11, 1). We encounter it once more in 1Ma 11:67, where Jonathan, after encamping for the night at the water of Gennesar, advances to the plain of Asor (Josephus, Ant. 13, 5, 7; the Greek text of the Maccabees has prefixed an n from the preceding word ; A.V. Nasor) to meet Demetrius, who was in possession of Kadesh (11, 63; Josephus as above). SEE NASOR. Raumer queries whether it may not have been the ancient town of Naason, which king Baldwin IV passed on his way from Tiberias to Saphet (Will. Tyr. p. 1014); and his reason for this conjecture is that the Vulgate gives Naason for the Asor () of Tobit 1, 1 (Raumer, Palastinza.s. 114, n.). SEE ASOR.
The name Hazor still lingers in several places around the upper valley of the Jordan (Robinson, B. R. 3, 63, 81, 401). There is one Hazury on a commanding site above Caesarea Philippi, and close to the great castle of Subeibeh. Here Keith (Land of Israel, p. 374) and Stanley (Sin. and Pal. p. 389) would place the ancient capital of Canaan. But the territory of Naphtali hardly extended so far eastward. Another Hasur is in the plain, a few miles west of the site of Dan; but neither does this site quite accord with the Scripture notices (Porter’s Damascus, 1, 304; Van de Velde, Memoir, p. 318). Schwarz (Palest. p. 91) thinks a village which he calls Azur, between Banias and Meshdel (el-Mejel), may be the ancient Hazor; he probably refers to the Ain el-Hazury marked on Zimmerman’s Map a little north-east of Banias, which, however, is too far east. There is a place marked as Azur on Zimmerman’s Map, a little north-east of Kedes (Kadesh), which unquestionably lay in Naphtali; but M. De Saulcy (Narrat. 2, 406) denies that this can have been the Hazor of Jabin (which he distinguishes from the Hazor of Solomon), and in a long argument (p. 400- 405) he contends that it was situated on the site of some extensive ruins, which he reports at a place called indefinitely el-Khan, on the hills skirting the north-easterly shore of the lake el-Huleh, in the direction of Banias. Van de Velde (Memoir, p. 318) likewise thinks the Hazor of Joshua different from that of Judges (although both were ruled by a Jabin, evidently a hereditary title), and inclines to regard En-Hazor (Jos 19:37) as identical with the latter, and with a ruined Hazur in the middle of Galilee (about two hours from Bint Jebeil); while he seems to acquiesce in the identification of the eastern Hazor with a Hazur (Porter, Danascus, 1, 304) or Kasr Autar (Seetzen), or, as he himself calls it, Tell Haze, covered with remains, and jutting out from Merj Ayun towards the Huleh plain. The Hazor of Jos 19:36, he believes to be Tell Hazur, southeast of Ramah. All this, however, is vague and confused. Mr. Thomson, who visited this region in 1843, believed Hazor may be identified with the present castle of Hunin, north of the Huleh (Biblioth. Sacra, 1846, p. 202).
The editor (Dr. Robinson), however, thinks the arguments adduced more plausible than sound (ib. p. 212), and advocates the opinion of Rev. E. Smith, that Tell Khureibeh, at the south end of the plain of Kedes, is better entitled to be regarded as the site of Hazor (Bibliotheca Sacra, 1847, p. 403). Accordingly, in the new ed. of his Researches, after noticing and rejecting several other sites proposed (3, 63, 81, 402), he at length fixes upon this as best agreeing with the ancient notices of this city (ib. p. 365). There are, as the name Khureibeh, ruins, implies, some ancient ruins on the tell, but they are those of a village. There are still other ruins of an ancient town which occupy a commanding site on the south bank of wady Hendj, overlooking the valley and lake of Merom, and about six miles south of Kedesh, which is a not improbable site for the ancient Hazor (Robinson, Bibl. Res. 3, 363, 365); and the plain beneath it, stretching to the shore of the lake, might take the name of the city Asur, as Josephus seems to indicate (1. c.). Ritter (Erdk. 15, 260) accepts the Hazury proposed by Burckhardt (Trav. p. 44); apparently the inconsiderable ruin on the rocky declivity above Banias (Robinson, Res. new ed. 3, 402). Captain Wilson prefers the isolated Tell Harah, covered with ruins, about two miles southeast of Kedesh (Jour. Sac. Lit. 1866, p. 245). But none of these last cited places retain the ancient name. Finally, Dr. Thomson is confident (Land and Book, 1, 439) that the true spot is Hazere (the above Hazur of Van de Velde, east of a more northern Ramah), in the center of the mountainous region overhanging lake Huleh on the northwest, containing numerous ancient remains, and locally connected by tradition with the Israelitish victory; although Dr. Robinson (incorrectly) objects to this site (Bib. Res. new ed. 3:63) that it is too far from the lake, and within the territory of Asher.
2. A city in the south of Judah (but probably not one of those assigned to Simeon, since it is not named in the list, Jos 19:1-9), mentioned between Kedesh (Kadesh-Barnea) and Ithant (Jos 15:23, where the Vat. MS. of the Sept. unites with the following name, , Alex. MS. omits, Vulg. Asor). We may reasonably conjecture that this was the central town of that name, the other Hazors of the same connection (HazorHadattah, and Kerioth-Hezron or Hazor-Amam) being probably so called for distinction’ sake; and in that case we may perhaps locate it at a ruined site marked on Van de Velde’s Map as Tayibeh (the et-Taiyib of Robinson, Res. 3 Appendix, p. 114), on a tell around the south-west base of which runs the wady ed-Dheib, emptying into the Dead Sea. See Nos. 3 and 4.
3. HAZOR-HADATTAH (for so the Heb. , i.e. New Hazor, should be understood; since there is no copula between the words, and the sense in Jos 15:32 requires this condensation; Sept. omits, Vulg. Asor nova), a city in the south of Judah (but not the extreme Simeonite portion), mentioned between Bealoth and Kerioth (Jos 15:25); probably, as suggested in Keil and Delitzsch’s Commentary, ad loc. (Edinb. ed. p. 160), the ruined site el-Hudhairah of Robinson’s Researches (3, Append. p. 114), south of Hebron, in the immediate vicinity of el-Beyudh (the Beiyudh of Van de Veldes Map, about half way between Kerioth and Arad). See Nos. 2. and 4.
4. HAZOR-AMAM (to be so joined for the same reasons as in No. 2), probably identified with Kerioth-Herzon (in the Heb. the four names stand , villages of Chetsron which is Chatsor Amam; Sept. [v.r. ], , [v.r. ]; Vulg. Carioth, Hesron, haec est Asor, Amam), a town in the south of Judah (but apparently not in the Simeonite territory), mentioned between Bealoth and Shema (Jos 15:24-26); no doubt (if thus combined) the modern el-Khureyetein, as suggested by Robinson (Researches, 3, Append. p. 114). SEE KERIOTH.
5. (Vat. MS. of Sept. omits; Vulg. Asor.) A city inhabited by the Benjamites after the Captivity, mentioned between Ananiah and Ramah (Neh 11:33); possibly the modern Gazur, a short distance east of Jaffa (for others of the associated names, although likewise within the ancient territory of Dan, are also assigned to Benjamin), since Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. Asor) mention a Hazor in the vicinity of Ascalon, although they assign it to Judah, and confound it with those in the south of that tribe (Robinson’s Researches, 2, 370, note). From the places mentioned with it, as Anathoth, Nob, Ramah, etc., it would seem to have lain north of Jerusalem, and at no great distance there from. Schwarz thinks it is called Chasor () in the Talmudical writers (Palest. p. 162). Robinson suggests the identity of Hazor and the modern Tell Asur, a ruin on a little hill about six miles north of Bethel (Bib. Res. i1, 264, note). This, however, appears to be too far from Ramah. Tobler mentions a ruin called Khurbet Arsur, near Ramah, a little to the west, the situation of which would answer better to Hazor (Topogr. 2, 400; Van de Velde, Memoir, p. 319). The place in question is probably the same with the BAAL-HAZOR SEE BAAL-HAZOR (q.v.) of 2Sa 13:23.
6. A region of Arabia, spoken of as an important place, in the vicinity of Kedar, in the prophetic denunciations of desolation upon both by Nebuchadnezzar (Jer 49:28-33). It can hardly be Petra, as supposed by Vitringa (on Isaiah, i, p. 624), nor the Asor placed by Eusebius 8 miles west of Philadelphia (Hitzig, Jesaias, p. 196), but probably is a designation of the confines of Arabia with south-eastern Palestine, inhabited by nomade tribes dwelling in mere encampments. SEE HAZAR.

Hazor (2)
Of the places thus simply designated, the latest authorities make the following identifications:
1. HAZOR OF NAPHTALI (Jos 11:1; Jos 11:10-11; Jos 11:13; Jos 12:19; Jos 19:36; Jdg 4:2; Jdg 4:17; 1Sa 12:9; 1Ki 9:15; 2Ki 15:29) is identified by Grove (in Smith’s Atlas) with Tell Huraweh, south-east of Kedesh, and by Trelawney Saunders (Map of the O.T.) with Khurbet Harrah (evidently the same locality), which is set down on the Ordinance Map one and three quarter miles north-west of Lake Huleh, and described in the accompanying Memoirs (1:237) as “an important ruin on a hill-top. There are considerable remains of walls of good-sized masonry and foundations, with caves, and two rock-cut tombs, with loculi. A few stones are moulded, probably door-posts or architraves. There are a number of cisterns. The principal remains are on the top and the eastern slope of the hill. A zigzag pathway formerly led down to the great spring of ‘Ain el- Mellaheh.” This is the location proposed by Wilson and advocated by Guerin. Lieut. Conder, on the other hand, suggests (Tent Work, 2:337) Hadireh, which occurs in a Jebel and Merj of that name, one and a half miles west of el-Khureibeh (Robinson’s site for Hazor), lying two and a half miles south of Kedesh, and three and a half west of Lake Huleb.
Grove and Conder, however, both seem to distinguish two Hazors in the above passages, and they locate the second at Hazzur, a rock-cut tomb in Khurbet Hazireh (ten miles west of Kedesh), where are “foundations of walls, built with large, well-dressed stones, a few small columns and broken pieces mixed up with the ruins; eight rock-cut cisterns, one rock- cut birkeh [pool], and two rock-cut tombs” (Memoirs, 1:239; comp. page 223). They seem, moreover, to identify this with EN-HAZOR SEE EN- HAZOR (q.v.), although there is no spring there now, as there is at ‘Ain el- Khurbeh, where Saunders locates the latter. This last geographer places Edrei at Hazireh, but it should rather be identified with Khureibeh, and Hazzfir and Hazireh will thus be left to represent a single Hazor, as the names respectively indicate. En-Hazor may then be appropriately assigned separately to Khurbet Hazuir, half a mile north-west of a hill of the same name, and consisting of “heaps of stones and cisterns” (Memoirs, 1:396), laid down five miles north-west of Yakfik, with several springs in the vicinity (‘Ain elTahit, one and a half miles west, sufficiently copious to supply three mills; and ‘Ain el-Mansufrah and ‘Ain el-Diah, one mile south). But the specific name, ‘Ain Hazur, does not occur on the Ordnance Map, although several travellers speak of it here, and Tristram even says (Bible Places, page273). This is the only Ain-Hazur.”
2. HAZOR OF BENJAMIN AFTER THE CAPTIVITY (Neh 11:33) is identified by Grove with Yasur, near Ashdod, which is out of the region indicated. It has usually been made the same with BAAL-HAZOR (q.v.), which Conder and Saunders reasonably Slocate at Tell Asur, four and a half miles north-east of Beitin (Bethel), “a sacred place among the peasantry, though no Mukam exists. There is a group of fine oaks on the hilltop, sacred, apparently, to a certain Sheik Hadherah (the proper Arabic form of Hazor). The Rijal el-Asawir, or ‘Men of ‘Asur,’ said to be companions of the Prophet, are also invoked by the Moslems. This appears to be a probable survival of the ancient caltus of Baal on this lofty summit. Here Ginrin found ancient cisterns cut in the rock, and vaulted houses still standing. In the middle of the plateau was a wely, dedicated to sheik Hassan, on the site of an old church, now destroyed, of which some ruins remain, especially four fragments of columns lying on great slabs which were once the pavement of the church; besides these a capital, on which was formerly sculptured a cross of square form” (Memoirs, 2:371).
Lieut. Conder, however, suggests a separate location from this for the Hazor of the post-exilian history at Hazzur (Tent Work, 2:119), one mile east of Neby Samwil; a ruined site (Memoirs, 3:43), four miles north-west of Jerusalem, with tombs, cisterns, and spring (‘Ain Malahah) adjoining.
3. HAZOR OF JUDAH (Jos 15:23) is combined by Saunders with the name following (contrary to the Heb. text, which has disconnective between) into the compound Hazor-Ithnan, and located at en-Tora, which he lays down a short distance south-east of Beersheba.

Hazor
enclosed; fortified. (1.) A stronghold of the Canaanites in the mountains north of Lake Merom (Josh. 11:1-5). Jabin the king with his allied tribes here encountered Joshua in a great battle. Joshua gained a signal victory, which virtually completed his conquest of Canaan (11:10-13). This city was, however, afterwards rebuilt by the Canaanites, and was ruled by a king with the same hereditary name of Jabin. His army, under a noted leader of the name of Sisera, swept down upon the south, aiming at the complete subjugation of the country. This powerful army was met by the Israelites under Barak, who went forth by the advice of the prophetess Deborah. The result was one of the most remarkable victories for Israel recorded in the Old Testament (Josh. 19:36; Judg. 4:2; 1 Sam. 12:9). The city of Hazor was taken and occupied by the Israelites. It was fortified by Solomon to defend the entrance into the kingdom from Syria and Assyria. When Tiglath-pileser, the Assyrian king, invaded the land, this was one of the first cities he captured, carrying its inhabitants captive into Assyria (2 Kings 15:29). It has been identified with Khurbet Harrah, 2 1/2 miles south-east of Kedesh.
(2.) A city in the south of Judah (Josh. 15:23). The name here should probably be connected with the word following, Ithnan, HAZOR-ITHNAN instead of “Hazor and Ithnan.”
(3.) A district in Arabia (Jer. 49:28-33), supposed by some to be Jetor, i.e., Ituraea.
(4.) “Kerioth and Hezron” (Josh. 15: 25) should be “Kerioth-hezron” (as in the R.V.), the two names being joined together as the name of one place (e.g., like Kirjath-jearim), “the same is Hazor” (R.V.). This place has been identified with el-Kuryetein, and has been supposed to be the home of Judas Iscariot. (See KERIOTH)

Hazor
(“enclosed”.) (See HAROSHETH.)
1. In Naphtali, on a height overlooking Lake Merom (Jos 11:1; Jos 11:10, “head of all those kingdoms,” i.e. the chief city of northern Palestine; Jos 12:19; Jos 19:36; Jdg 4:2; Jdg 4:17; 1Sa 12:9). Burnt by Joshua in order not to leave such a strong place in his rear; rebuilt and made the second Jabin’s seat whence he oppressed Israel. Fortified by Solomon as a point of defense at the entering into Palestine from Syria and Assyria; its fortification was one among the works which necessitated. a “levy” of taxes (1Ki 9:15). Its inhabitants were carried to Assyria by Tiglath Pileser (2Ki 15:29). Now Tell Khuraibeh, “the ruins,” according to Robinson; but there are no old ruins there and no cisterns. Rather Tel Hara, where is an ancient fortress, and walls, ruins, and pottery (Our Work in Palestine, Palestine Exploration Fund).
2. A city in the extreme S. of Judah (Jos 15:23).
3. HAZOR-HADATTAH, “the new Hazor” as distinguished from the former; also in southern Judah (Jos 15:25).
4. A city N. of Jerusalem, where the Benjamites resided after the return from Babylon (Neh 11:33).

HAZOR
Before Israels conquest of Canaan, Hazor was the chief city of the far northern region of Canaan. When the armies of Israel entered Canaan under Joshua, they conquered Hazor and burnt it (Jos 11:1; Jos 11:10-11). In the division of Canaan that followed, Hazor fell within the tribal area of Naphtali (Jos 19:32; Jos 19:36). Later the local people regained control of Hazor and rebuilt the city, though in due course the Israelites drove them out (Jdg 4:2; Jdg 4:23-24). In the reign of Solomon, Hazor became Israels main defence outpost on its northern frontier (1Ki 9:15).

Hazor
HAZOR.1. The city of Jabin (Jos 11:1 etc.), in Naphtali (Jos 19:36), S. of Kedesh (1Ma 11:63; 1Ma 11:67 etc. called in Tob 1:2 Asher), overlooking Lake Semechonitis = cl-Hleh (Jos. [Note: Josephus.] Ant. V. v. 1). The name probably lingers in Jebel and Merj el-Hadreh, about 7 miles N. of Safed. It was taken and destroyed by Joshua. Solomon fortified it (1Ki 9:15). It was taken by Tiglath-pileser iii. (2Ki 15:29). 2. A town in the Negeb of Judah (Jos 15:23), unidentified. 3. A town also in the Negeh (Jos 15:25), identical with Kerioth-hezron. 4. A place in Benjamin, N. of Jerusalem (Neh 11:33), probably Khirbet Hazzr, between Beit Haninah and Neby Samwl. 5. The kingdoms of Hazor, named with Kedar (Jer 49:28 etc.), an Arabian district, possibly on the border of the desert.

Hazor
hazor (, hacor; , Nasor; Codex Sinaiticus, , Asor, 1 Macc 11:67):
(1) The royal city of Jabin (Jos 11:1), which, before the Israelite conquest, seems to have been the seat of a wide authority (Jos 11:11). It was taken by Joshua, who exterminated the inhabitants, and it was the only city in that region which he destroyed by fire (Jos 11:11-13). At a later time the Jabin Dynasty appears to have recovered power and restored the city (Jdg 4:2). The heavy defeat of their army at the hands of Deborah and Barak led to their final downfall (Jdg 4:23). It was in the territory allotted to Naphtali (Jos 19:36). Hazor was one of the cities for the fortification of which Solomon raised a levy (1Ki 9:15). Along with other cities in Galilee, it was taken by Tiglathpileser III (2Ki 15:29). In the plain of Hazor, Jonathan the Maccabee gained a great victory over Demetrius (1 Macc 11:67ff). In Tobit 12 it is called Asher (Septuagint , Aser), and Kedesh is said to be above it. Josephus (Ant., V, v, 1) says that Hazor was situated over the lake, Semechonitis, which he evidently identifies with the Waters of Merom (Jos 11:13). It must clearly be sought on the heights West of el-Chuleh. Several identifications have been suggested, but no certain conclusion can be reached. Some (Wilson and Guerin) favor Tell Harreh to the Southeast of Qedes, where there are extensive ruins. Robinson thought of Tell Khureibeh, 2 1/2 miles South of Qedes, where, however, there are no ruins. We may take it as certain that the ancient name of Hazor is preserved in Merj el-Chadireh, Southwest of Qedes, and North of Wady ‘Uba, and in Jebel Chadireh, East of the Merj, although it has evidently drifted from the original site, as names have so often done in Palestine. Conder suggests a possible identification with Chazzur, farther South, at the foot of the chain of Upper Galilee … in position more appropriate to the use of the chariots that belonged to the king of Hazor (HDB, under the word).
(2) A town, unidentified, in the South of Judah (Jos 15:23).
(3) A town in the South of Judah (Jos 15:25). See KERIOTH-HEZRON.
(4) A town in Benjamin (Neh 11:33) now represented by Khirbet Hazzur, not far to the East of Neby Samwl.
(5) An unidentified place in Arabia, smitten by Nebuchadnezzar (Jer 49:28, Jer 49:33).

Hazor
Hazor, a city near the waters of lake Merom (Huleh), the seat of Jabin, a powerful Canaanitish king, as appears from the summon sent by him to all the neighboring kings to assist him against the Israelites. He and his confederates were, however, defeated and slain by Joshua, and the city burnt to the ground (Jos 11:1; Jos 11:10-13; Josephus Antiq. v.5. 1). But by the time of Deborah and Barak the Canaanites had recovered part of the territory then lost, had rebuilt Hazor, and were ruled by a king with the ancient royal name of Jabin, under whose power the Israelites were, in punishment for their sins, reduced. From this yoke they were delivered by Deborah and Barak, after which Hazor remained in quiet possession of the Israelites, and belonged to the tribe of Naphtali (Jos 19:36; Jdg 4:2). Hazor was one of the towns rebuilt or much improved by Solomon (1Ki 9:15), and was one of the fortified places of Galilee which the Assyrians under Tiglath-pileser first took on invading Palestine from the north (2Ki 15:29). There is no modern notice of this town.

Hazor
[Ha’zor]
1. Ancient city and capital of northern Palestine. It was taken and burnt by Joshua; rebuilt and allotted to Naphtali, but was retaken by a second Jabin, king of Canaan, who was defeated by Deborah and Barak. It was fortified by Solomon, and was afterwards taken by Tiglath-pileser, and the inhabitants carried to Assyria. Jos 11:1-13; Jos 12:19; Jos 19:36; Jdg 4:2; Jdg 4:17; 1Sa 12:9; 1Ki 9:15; 2Ki 15:29. Identified by some with Jebel Hadireh, 33 4′ N, 35 30′ E. Others prefer the ruins at Harrah, about three miles to the N.E., which are much nearer the waters of Merom.
2. City in the south of Judah. Jos 15:23.
3. Apparently another city of Judah, which is distinguished thus: ‘Hezron, which is Hazor.’ Jos 15:25. See HAZOR-HADATTAH.
4. Place where the Benjamites resided after the return from exile. Neh 11:33. Identified with Hazzur, 31 50′ N, 35 12′ E.
5. Place in ‘the east’ that was to be smitten by Nebuchadnezzar, and be a desolation for ever. Jer 49:28; Jer 49:30; Jer 49:33. Not identified.

Hazor
Hazor (h’sr), enclosure. 1. The city of King Jabin: destroyed by Joshua, Jos 11:1; Jos 11:10-11; given to Naphtali, Jos 19:36; again possessed by the Canaanites, Jdg 4:2. who had for its king Jabina generic reigned in Hazor and whose general was Sisera. It was fortified by Solomon, 1Ki 9:15; its people were carried into captivity by Tiglath-pileser. 2Ki 15:29. The city appears to have been situated on a hill in the midst of a plain, and was a stronghold. Jos 11:4; Jdg 4:3. 2. A city in the south of Judah; probably should be written Hazor-ithman, Jos 15:23. 3. Another town of Judah; called Hazor-hadattah, or New Hazor. Josh. 15:25. 4 Hezron, which is Hazor, Jos 15:25; rendered by Canon Cook “Kerioth Hezron, which is Hazor.” It is supposed to have been the home of Judas Iscariot, the man of Kerioth, Mat 10:4; Conder suggested Kheshram, north of Beer-sheba, as the site of this Hazor.

Hazor
Ha’zor. (castle).
1. A fortified city, which on the occupation of the country, was allotted to Naphtali. Jos 19:36. Its position was apparently, between Ramah and Kedesh, Jos 12:19, on the high ground overlooking the Lake of Merom. There is no reason for supposing it, a different place from that of which, Jabin was king. Jos 11:1; Jdg 4:2; Jdg 4:17; 1Sa 12:9. It was the principal city of the whole of north Palestine. Jos 11:10.
