  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  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:  comp.  21:8-10;  1  Sam.  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 
 
 
  From  Hitchcock's  Bible  Names  Dictionary  (late  1800's)  [hitchcock]:
