JEZANIAH - J>@ - (whom Jehovah hears), the son of Hoshaiah the Maachathite, and one of the captains of the forces who had escaped from Jerusalem during the final attack of the beleaguering army of the Chaldeans. (B.C. 588.) When the Babylonians had departed, Jezaniah, with the men under his command, was one of the first who returned to Gedaliah at Mizpah. In the events which followed the assassination of that officer Jezaniah took a prominent part. ( kjv@2Kings:25:23; kjv@Jeremiah:40:8 kjv@Jeremiah:42:1 kjv@Jeremiah:43:2 )

JEZEBEL - J>@ - (chaste), wife of Ahab king of Israel. (B.C. 883.) She was a Phoenician princess, daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians. In her hands her husband became a mere puppet. (Kings:21:25) The first effect of her influence was the immediate establishment of the Phoenician worship on a grand scale in the court of Ahab. At her table were supported no less than 450 prophets of Baal and 400 of Eastward. (Kings:16:31-21; 18:19) The prophets of Jehovah were attacked by her orders and put to the sword. (Kings:18:13; kjv@2Kings:9:7) At last the people, at the instigation of Elijah, rose against her ministers and slaughtered them at the foot of Carmel. When she found her husband east down by his disappointment at being thwarted by Naboth, (Kings:21:7) she wrote a warrant in Ahab’s name, and sealed it with his seal. To her, and not to Ahab, was sent the announcement that the royal wishes were accomplished, (Kings:21:14) and on her accordingly fell the prophet’s curse, as well as on her husband, (Kings:21:23) a curse fulfilled so literally by Jehu, whose chariot-horses trampled out her life. The body was left in that open space called in modern eastern language "the mounds," where offal is thrown from the city walls. ( kjv@2Kings:9:30-37)

JEZER - J>@ - (power), the third son of Naphtali, kjv@Genesis:46:24; kjv@Numbers:26:49; kjv@1Chronicles:7:13) and father of the family of Jezerites.

JEZIAH - J>@ - (whom Jehovah expiates), a descendant of Parosh, who had married a foreign wife. kjv@Ezra:10:25)

JEZIEL - J>@ - (the assembly of God), a Benjamite who joined David at Ziklag. ( kjv@1Chronicles:12:3) (B.C. 1055.)

JEZLIAH - J>@ - (whom God will preserve), a Benjamite of the sons of Elpaal. ( kjv@1Chronicles:8:18) (B.C. 588.)

JEZOAR - J>@ - (whiteness), the son of Helah, one of the wives of Asher. ( kjv@1Chronicles:4:7)

JEZRAHIAH - J>@ - (produced by Jehovah), a Levite, the leader of the choristers at the solemn dedication of the wall of Jerusalem under Nehemiah. kjv@Nehemiah:12:42) (B.C. 446.)

JEZREEL - J>@ - (seed of God), a descendant of the father or founder of Etam, of the line of Judah. ( kjv@1Chronicles:4:3) (B.C. about 1445).

JEZREEL - J>@ - A city situated in the plain of the same name between Gilboa and Little Hermon, now generally called Esdraelon. ESDRAELON It appears in kjv@Joshua:19:18) but its historical importance dates from the reign of Ahab, B.C. 918-897, who chose it for his chief residence. The situation of the modern village of Zerin still remains to show the fitness of his choice. Int he neighborhood, or within the town probably, were a temple and grove of Eastward, with an establishment of 400 priests supported by Jezebel. (Kings:16:33; kjv@2Kings:10:11) The palace of Ahab, (Kings:21:1; 18:46) probably containing his "ivory house," (Kings:22:39) was on the eastern side of the city, forming part of the city wall. Comp. (Kings:21:1; kjv@2Kings:9:25 kjv@2Kings:9:30,33) Whether the vineyard of Naboth was here or at Samaria is a doubtful question. Still in the same eastern direction are two springs, one 12 minutes from the town, the other 20 minutes. The latter, probably from both its size and its situation, was known as "the spring of Jezreel." With the fall of the house of Ahab the glory of Jezreel departed. A town in Judah, in the neighborhood of the southern Carmel. kjv@Joshua:15:56) Here David in his wanderings took Ahinoam the Israelites for his first wife. ( kjv@1Samuel:27:3 kjv@1Samuel:30:5) The eldest son of the prophet Hosea. kjv@Hosea:1:4)

JEZREELITESS - J>@ - a woman of Jezreel. ( kjv@1Samuel:27:3 kjv@1Samuel:30:5; 2 Samuel kjv@2:2; 3:2; kjv@1Chronicles:3:1)

Jezebel @ chaste, the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of the Zidonians, and the wife of Ahab, the king of Israel (kjvKings:16:31). This was the "first time that a king of Israel had allied himself by marriage with a heathen princess; and the alliance was in this case of a peculiarly disastrous kind. Jezebel has stamped her name on history as the representative of all that is designing, crafty, malicious, revengeful, and cruel. She is the first great instigator of persecution against the saints of God. Guided by no principle, restrained by no fear of either God or man, passionate in her attachment to her heathen worship, she spared no pains to maintain idolatry around her in all its splendour. Four hundred and fifty prophets ministered under her care to Baal, besides four hundred prophets of the groves [R.V., 'prophets of the Asherah'], which ate at her table (kjvKings:18:19). The idolatry, too, was of the most debased and sensual kind." Her conduct was in many respects very disastrous to the kingdom both of Israel and Judah (21:1-29). At length she came to an untimely end. As Jehu rode into the gates of Jezreel, she looked out at the window of the palace, and said, "Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?" He looked up and called to her chamberlains, who instantly threw her from the window, so that she was dashed in pieces on the street, and his horses trod her under their feet. She was immediately consumed by the dogs of the street ( kjv@2Kings:9:7-37), according to the word of Elijah the Tishbite (kjvKings:21:19). Her name afterwards came to be used as the synonym for a wicked woman kjv@Revelation:2:20). It may be noted that she is said to have been the grand-aunt of Dido, the founder of Carthage.

Jeziel @ assembled by God, a son of Azmaveth. He was one of the Benjamite archers who joined David at Ziklag ( kjv@1Chronicles:12:3).

Jezreel @ God scatters.

(1.) A town of Issachar kjv@Joshua:19:18), where the kings of Israel often resided (kjvKings:18:45; 21:1; kjv@2Kings:9:30). Here Elijah met Ahab, Jehu, and Bidkar; and here Jehu executed his dreadful commission against the house of Ahab ( kjv@2Kings:9:14-37 kjv@2Kings:10:1-11). It has been identified with the modern Zerin, on the most western point of the range of Gilboa, reaching down into the great and fertile valley of Jezreel, to which it gave its name.

(2.) A town in Judah kjv@Joshua:15:56), to the south-east of Hebron. Ahinoam, one of David's wives, probably belonged to this place ( kjv@1Samuel:27:3).

(3.) A symbolical name given by Hosea to his oldest son kjv@Hosea:1:4), in token of a great slaughter predicted by him, like that which had formerly taken place in the plain of Esdraelon (comp. kjv@Hosea:1:4-5).

Jezreel, Blood of @ the murder perpetrated here by Ahab and Jehu kjv@Hosea:1:4; comp. kjvKings:18:4; kjv@2Kings:9:6-10).

Jezreel, Day of @ the time predicted for the execution of vengeance for the deeds of blood committed there kjv@Hosea:1:5).

Jezreel, Ditch of @ (kjvKings:21:23; comp. 13), the fortification surrounding the city, outside of which Naboth was executed.

Jezreel, Fountain of @ where Saul encamped before the battle of Gilboa ( kjv@1Samuel:29:1). In the valley under Zerin there are two considerable springs, one of which, perhaps that here referred to, "flows from under a sort of cavern in the wall of conglomerate rock which here forms the base of Gilboa. The water is excellent; and issuing from crevices in the rocks, it spreads out at once into a fine limpid pool forty or fifty feet in diameter, full of fish" (Robinson). This may be identical with the "well of Harod" kjv@Judges:7:1; comp. kjv@2Samuel:23:25), probably the 'Ain Jalud, i.e., the "spring of Goliath."

Jezreel, Portion of @ the field adjoining the city ( kjv@2Kings:9:10 kjv@2Kings:9:21, 36, 37). Here Naboth was stoned to death (kjvKings:21:13).

Jezreel, Tower of @ one of the turrets which guarded the entrance to the city ( kjv@2Kings:9:17).

Jezreel, Valley of @ lying on the northern side of the city, between the ridges of Gilboa and Moreh, an offshoot of Esdraelon, running east to the Jordan kjv@Joshua:17:16; kjv@Judges:6:33; kjv@Hosea:1:5). It was the scene of the signal victory gained by the Israelites under Gideon over the Midianites, the Amalekites, and the "children of the east" kjv@Judges:6:3). Two centuries after this the Israelites were here defeated by the Philistines, and Saul and Jonathan, with the flower of the army of Israel, fell ( kjv@1Samuel:31:1-6). This name was in after ages extended to the whole of the plain of Esdraelon (q.v.). It was only this plain of Jezreel and that north of Lake Huleh that were then accessible to the chariots of the Canaanites (comp. kjv@2Kings:9:21 kjv@2Kings:10:15).
