HAZAZON-TAMAR hăz’ ə zŏn tā’ mər (חַֽצְצֹ֥ן תָּמָֽר, KJV has HAZEZON-TAMAR in Gen 14:7; Hazazon of the palm trees). A place inhabited by Amorites that was among the places, including the country of the Amalekites, conquered by Chedorlaomer and some kings who were with him after they had rebelled against him. In 2 Chronicles 20:2 it is identified with En-gedi, on the W side of the Dead Sea; where it is also said that a large army came against Jehoshaphat from Edom and were then in Hazazon-tamar (that is, En-gedi). Its location is uncertain, but it was apparently not far from Sodom and Gomorah. It could be the same as the Tamar fortified by Solomon (1 Kings 9:18), which Ezekiel locates in the SE corner of Israel (47:19; 48:28). The Wadi Hasasa, NW of ’Ain-jidi, preserves the name. Several places have been suggested as the site.
