BAAL-HAZOR (Jewish Encyclopedia)
From BibleWiki
A place situated near Ephraim, where Absalom possessed an estate (2 Sam 13:23). It was there that during a sheep-shearing festival Amnon was killed at the instigation of his stepbrother Absalom. Baal-hazor has, with some degree of plausibility, been identified as the modern Tell 'AẒur, east of Beth-el (see Ephraim). It is perhaps the same as Hazor, mentioned in Neh 11:33.
