    Description

    Baal-hazor in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Baal-hazor is mentioned in 2Sa.13.23 as the location where Absalom, King David's son, had his sheepshearers. Absalom invited all the king's sons to join him at Baal-hazor for a feast. It was during this gathering that Absalom orchestrated the murder of his half-brother Amnon in revenge for Amnon's rape of Absalom's sister Tamar. The exact location of Baal-hazor is not specified, but it was likely situated near Ephraim, as the verse mentions that it was "beside Ephraim."

    The pattern

    Baal-hazor is named in 1 verse — occurrences of the name in the Hebrew or Greek, counted in the versification of the Berean Standard Bible (v5.7). Every book of the corpus is drawn, its width its share of the 1,189 chapters. 65 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
