En-Hazor

EN-HAZOR ĕn hā’ zôr (עֵ֥ין חָצֹֽור, meaning settlement spring). There are at least five different locations with whole or part of their name being Hazor. En-Hazor was a fortified city included in the assignment to the tribe of Naphtali. This town is not the same as the royal city of Hazor which was located in the region of Naphtali NW of the Sea of Galilee. En-Hazor’s exact location is unknown, but Aharoni, Land of the Bible, p. 150, conjectures that it might be ’Ainitha. En-Hazor is mentioned only in Joshua 19:37.
