Places of the Bible
Meroz
A plain in the north of Palestine, the inhabitants of which were severely condemned because they came not to help Barak against Sisera ([Judg. 5:23](/judg#Judg.5.23): comp. 21:8-10; [1 Sam. 11:7](/1sam#1Sam.11.7)). It has been identified with Marassus, on a knoll to the north of Wady Jalud, but nothing certainly is known of it. Like Chorazin, it is only mentioned in Scripture in connection with the curse pronounced upon it.
