Ha'zor. (castle).

1. A fortified city, which on the occupation of the country, was allotted to Naphtali. Joshua 19:36. Its position was apparently, between Ramah and Kedesh, Joshua 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. Joshua 11:1; Judges 4:2; Judges 4:17; 1 Samuel 12:9. It was the principal city of the whole of north Palestine. Joshua 11:10. It was fortified by Solomon, 1 Kings 9:15, and its inhabitants were carried captive by Tiglath-pileser. 2 Kings 15:29. The most probable site of Hazor is Tell Khuraibeh.

2. One of the "cities" of Judah in the extreme south, named next, in order, to Kedesh. Joshua 15:23.

3. Hazor-Hadattah. "new Hazor". Another of the southern towns of Judah. Joshua 15:25.

4. A place in which the Benjamites resided, after their return from the captivity. Nehemiah 11:33.
