A mountain where King David's son Absalom had a home.
Two years after Amnon raped Absalom’s sister, and his half-sister, Tamar, Absalom invited Amnon and his other brothers to a feast at Baal-hazor when the shearers were cutting the wool from sheep (2 Samuel 13:21–30). During the celebration, Absalom got his revenge: he had Amnon killed.
Baal-hazor is not the Hazor in the tribal land of Benjamin (Nehemiah 11:33). It is also not the Hazor north of the Sea of Galilee in the tribal land of Naphtali (Joshua 11:10–11; 1 Kings 9:15; 2 Kings 15:29). Baal-hazor was located in the tribal land of Ephraim at Jebel el-Asur, northeast of Bethel.
