    The supplied morphology identifies the form as a proper noun. In Judges 4:2 the APB renders Jabin as reigning “in Hazor”; in Joshua 11:10 it renders Joshua as capturing the place and striking its king, while Joshua 11:11 and Jeremiah 49:33 describe its burning and later desolation. Place-list contexts also occur in Joshua 15:23 and Nehemiah 11:33.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB consistently presents the name as “Hazor,” including in rule, conquest, destruction, and place-list clauses. These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than establish finer distinctions for the term.
