Jezreel, Jokdeam, Zanoah,
Commentary on Joshua 15:561 voice
And Jezreel,.... This Jezreel in the tribe of Judah is different from that which was once a royal seat of some of the kings of Israel, and from whence the famous valley of Jezreel or Esdraelon had its name: of this we have no other account elsewhere: and Jokdeam; of which we have no other mention: and Zanoah is a distinct place from the city of the same name in the valley, Jos 15:34.

- 1 Samuel 25:43
David had also married Ahinoam of Jezreel. So she and Abigail were both his wives.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 25:432 voices
David had two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelite, and Abigail, whom he took later. The first was somewhat severe, the other full of mercy and graciousness, a kindly and generous soul who saw the Father with face unveiled, gazing on his glory. She received that heavenly dew of the grace of the Father, as her name is interpreted.
Ambrose of Milan· Letter 34, 397Patristic
But David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel, etc. Ahinoam means brother's beauty, Jezreel is interpreted as seed of God. Therefore, the Lord chose not only from the synagogue of the Jews those whom He would join to Himself with internal love, but also graciously took …

Now the Philistines brought all their forces together at Aphek, while Israel camped by the spring in Jezreel.

Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before them, and many fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 31:1–61 voice

- 1 Kings 21:1
Some time later, Naboth the Jezreelite happened to own a vineyard in Jezreel next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
Commentary on 1 Kings 21:11 voice
An ancient story tells of the two neighbors, King Ahab and a poor man, Naboth. Which of these do we consider the poorer, which the richer: the one who had been endowed with a king's measure of wealth, insatiable and unsatisfied with his wealth, who longed for the little vineyard of the poor man; or the other, heartily despising a "king's fortune of much gold" and imperial wealth, who was satisfied with his vineyard?
Ambrose of Milan· Letter 38 (To Simplician), Section 8, 397Patristic
- 2 Kings 8:29

Commentary on 2 Kings 8:291 voice
From Ramoth, having taken it, and left his army there: to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah; the same with Ramothgilead: when he fought against Hazael king of Syria; for Benhadad being dead, he was now king in his room, 2Ki 8:15. and Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick; of the wounds which he had received, which might occasion a feverish disorder; and so it was brought about in Providence that Ahaziah should here meet with the destruction appointed for him, of which in the following chapter.

- 2 Kings 9:15–37
but King Joram had returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he had suffered at the hands of the Arameans in the battle against Hazael their king.) So Jehu said, “If you commanders wish to make me king, then do not let anyone escape from the city to go and tell it in Jezreel.”
Commentary on 2 Kings 9:15–371 voice
But King Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel,.... As is recorded, 2Ki 8:29 and here repeated for the reason above given: and Jehu said, if it be your minds; to engage one and all, and heartily, in this conspiracy, and to make me king: then let none go forth nor escape out of the city, to go to tell it in Jezreel; that so Joram might be surprised unawares, and have no opportunity either of fleeing or of preparing for his defence.
