International Standard Bible Encyclopedia HAZAZON-TAMARhaz'-a-zan-ta'-mar (chatsatson tamar; the King James Version Hazezon Tamar): "Hazazon of the palm trees," mentioned (Genesis 14:7) as a place of the Amorites, conquered, together with En-mishpat and the country of the Amalekites, by Chedorlaomer; in 2 Chronicles 20:2 it is identified with EN-GEDI (which see); and if so, it must have been its older name. If this identification be accepted, then Hazazon may survive in the name Wady Husasah, Northwest of `Ain Jidy. Another suggestion, which certainly meets the needs of the narrative better, is that Hazazon-tamar is the Thamara of Eusebius, Onomasticon (85 3; 210 86), the Thamaro, of Ptol. xvi0.3. The ruin Kurnub, 20 miles West-Southwest of the South end of the Dead Sea-on the road from Hebron to Elath-is supposed to mark this site. Thesaurus Hazazontamar (1 Occurrence)... mark this site.
