baÌ„-al-hā´zor (בּעל חצור, ba‛al hÌ£aÌ„coÌ„r; ΒαιλασωÌÏ, Bailasō̇r, ΒελλασωÌÏ, Bel-la-sō̇r): A place on the property of Absalom where his sheep-shearers were gathered, beside Ephraim (). The sheep-shearing was evidently the occasion of a festival which was attended by Absalom's brethren. Here he compassed the death of Amnon in revenge for the outrage upon his sister. The place may be identified with Tell ‛AsÌ£uÌ„r, a mountain which rises 3, 318 ft. above the sea, 4 miles Northeast of Bethel.
