HAZAR-SUSAH, HAZAR-SUSIM

City assigned to Simeon within the territory allotted to Judah for an inheritance (Jos 19:5); alternately called Hazar-susim (1 Chr 4:31). Solomon probably used it as a transfer point for horses brought from Egypt for sale to the Hittites and Syrians, as suggested by its name, meaning “horse station.” Hazar-susah has been identified with Sbalat Abu Susein, east of the Wadi Far’ah.
