This Hazor entry refers to the Arabian district mentioned in prophetic judgment, not the better-known northern Canaanite city defeated by Joshua. It is important because it shows the name Hazor being used for a different region and context altogether. First appears in Jer 49:28.1

AI summary: Hazor most often calls to mind the major northern city associated with conquest and kingship, but this record belongs to the Arabian setting of Jeremiah's prophecy. Its significance therefore lies in judgment against desert peoples and territories rather than in the story of Canaanite urban power. The difference is substantial enough that the pages must remain separate. The cross references present this Hazor as an Arabian district in prophetic geography, distinct from the northern city.1
