En-hazor
En-hazor ("fount of Hazor") is a fortified settlement named in the Book of Joshua as part of the inheritance of Naphtali,[1] distinct from a settlement called Hazor mentioned in the same context.[2]
Its location has not been identified, though a number of possible sites have been proposed. Yohanan Aharoni suggested that it was located at Aynata in Lebanon.[3] Alternatively, it may have been situated at Khirbet Hazzur on the slopes of the mountains of Upper Galilee, west of Kedesh, though no fountain has been found here.[4]
