Kerioth-Hezron

From BibleEncyclopedia.Net

kē´ri-oth-hez´ron (קריות חצרון, ḳerīyōth ḥecrōn; Joshua 15:25 says, “The same is Hazor”; the King James Version “Kerioth and Hezron which is Hazor”):

One of the cities in the “south” of Judah. Robinson (BR, II, 101) identifies it with the ruined site of Kuryatain, 4 1/2 miles North of Tell ‛Arād. It has been suggested that Kerioth was the birth place of Judas Iscariot (which see). Compare Kerioth, 2.
