Concise Bible Dictionary:

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 afterward taken by Tiglath-pileser, and the inhabitants carried to Assyria (Josh. 11:1-13; Josh. 12:19; Josh. 19:36; Judg. 4:2,17; 1 Sam. 12:9; 1 Kings 9:15; 2 Kings 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 (Josh. 15:23).
3. Apparently another city of Judah, which is distinguished thus “Hezron, which is Hazor” (Josh. 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 forever (Jer. 49:28,30,33). Not identified.
