Smith's Bible Dictionary [1]

En-ha'zor. (fount of Hazor). One of the fenced cities, in the inheritance of Naphtali, distinct from Hazor.  Joshua 19:37. It has not yet been identified.

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [2]

En-Hazor (‘spring of Hazor,’   Joshua 19:37 ). A town of Naphtali, perhaps the mod. Hazîreh , on the W. slopes of the mountains of Upper Galilee, W. of Kedesh.

Fausset's Bible Dictionary [3]

("fount of the village".) A fenced city in the territory of Naphtali ( Joshua 19:37).

Holman Bible Dictionary [4]

 Joshua 19:37

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [5]

(Hebrews Eyn Chatsor', ין חָצוֹר , focntain of Hazor, i.e., of the village; Sept. πηγὴ Ἀσώρ ), a fortified city of the tribe of Naphtali, mentioned between Edrei and Iron ( Joshua 19:37), but apparently different from Hazor ( Joshua 19:36). It has been identified by Schwarz (Palest. page 183) and Thomson (Land and Book, 1:515) with the Ain-Hazur not far N.W. of TellHfazr (between Rameh or Ramah and Yakuk or Hukkok), which latter (being marked as a ruined site by Van de Velde, although Dr. Robinson, who visited it, denies that there are any traces of structures on the summit; Later Researches, page 81), was probably the location of the city itself. (See Hazor).

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [6]

en -hā´zor ( עין חצור , ‛ēn ḥācōr  ; πηγὴ Ἀσόρ , pēgḗ Asór ̌ : A city in the territory of Naphtali mentioned along with Kedesh, Edrei and Iron ( Joshua 19:37 ). The ancient name probably survives in that of Hazı̄reh , on the slopes West of Kedesh. "En" however points to a fountain. and no fountain has been found here.
