However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates the name as Ιεζραελ (Iezrael). Usage: Jizreel is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to both a city and a valley in the northern part of ancient Israel, as well as a personal name. Context: • City of Jizreel: Jizreel was a significant city located in the tribal territory of Issachar, near the border of the tribe of Manasseh. It is notably mentioned in the context of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel, as it was the site of Naboth's vineyard (1 Kings 21). The city served as a royal residence and military base during the reign of Ahab. The infamous events surrounding Naboth's vineyard and the subsequent judgment pronounced by Elijah took place here. The city is also associated with the downfall of the house of Ahab, as Jehu executed Jezebel and the sons of Ahab in Jizreel (2 Kings 9-10).
