Hazor Hazor

There are quite a few towns named Hazor in the Bible. One is a city in Canaan that was destroyed by Joshua. There are two towns named Hazor in southern Judah (Josh 15:23 and 25), one in Benjamin (Neh 11:33) and one near a town called Kedar, which was most likely named after a son of Ishmael, who lived in the Arabian desert. (Jer 49:28)

The name Hazor comes from the root hsr (hzr 722-726), which is exhaustively treated under Hazermaveth.

The name Hazor has many meanings, including Village, Trumpet, and Leek.
