HAZOR
1. A chief city of northern Canaan, whose king Jabin, at the head of an allied host, was defeated by Joshua, Joshua 1:11-13.

It lay not far from Lake Merom.
2. A region in Arabia, laid waste by Nebuchadnezzar, Jeremiah 49:28. Its location is unknown.
3. Cities in Judah and Benjamin, Joshua 15:23; Nehemiah 11:33.
