    Description

    Jezreel Valley in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    The Jezreel Valley, also known as the Plain of Esdraelon, is a large, fertile valley located in northern Israel. It is situated between the Galilee region in the north and the Samaria region in the south. The valley is known for its rich agricultural land and has been an important trade route since ancient times. In the Bible, the Jezreel Valley is mentioned as the site of several significant battles. In Judges 6:33, the Midianites, Amalekites, and other eastern peoples camped in the valley to attack Israel, but Gideon defeated them with God's help. The valley is also associated with the defeat of Saul and his sons by the Philistines (1Sa.29.1, 31:1-7). In Hosea 1:5, the prophet uses the name "Jezreel" symbolically to represent God's judgment on Israel, saying that God will break Israel's bow in the Valley of Jezreel. Some scholars believe that the Jezreel Valley may be the site of the future Battle of Armageddon mentioned in Revelation 16:16, although this interpretation is debated.

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

    Jezreel Valley is named in 3 verses — occurrences of the name in the Hebrew or Greek, counted in the versification of the Berean Standard Bible (v5.7). Every book of the corpus is drawn, its width its share of the 1,189 chapters. 63 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
