BAAL-HAZOR
Mountain home of King David’s son Absalom. Two years after Amnon raped Absalom’s sister Tamar (Amnon’s half sister), Absalom invited Amnon and his other brothers to a feast at Baal-hazor at sheepshearing time (2 Sm 13:21-30). During the festivities, Absalom got his revenge: he had Amnon killed.
Baal-hazor is not to be confused with the Hazor in Benjamin’s territory (Neh 11:33) or the Hazor north of the Sea of Galilee in Naphtali’s territory (Jos 11:10-11; 1 Kgs 9:15; 2 Kgs 15:29). Baal-hazor was located in the territory of Ephraim at Jebel el-Asur, northeast of Bethel.
