Kerioth-hezron Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Kerioth-hezron, also referred to as Hazor in the same verse, was a town located in the Negev, the southern region of Judah (Joshua 15:25). It is mentioned only once in the Bible, in the context of the list of towns allotted to the tribe of Judah. The name Kerioth-hezron may suggest that the town was associated with the Kenizzites, a group descended from Hezron, the grandson of Judah. Its location is unknown.
Kerioth 1 Dictionary
Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)
A town in the south of Judah (Josh. 15:25). Judas the traitor was probably a native of this place, and hence his name Iscariot. It has been identified with the ruins of el-Kureitein, about 10 miles south of Hebron.
