Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for יִזְרְעֵאלִי (Yizre'eli) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. However, the city of Jezreel itself is mentioned in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, where it is transliterated as Ιεζραελ (Iezrael).

Usage: The term יִזְרְעֵאלִי is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to individuals from the city of Jezreel. It is a proper noun used to identify people associated with this location.

Context: The term יִזְרְעֵאלִי (Yizre'eli) is used to denote individuals from the ancient city of Jezreel, which played a significant role in the history of Israel. Jezreel was located in the northern part of the Kingdom of Israel, within the tribal allotment of Issachar. The city is notably mentioned in the context of several biblical narratives, including the story of Naboth's vineyard and the reign of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel.

In 1 Kings 21, Naboth the Jizreelite is a central figure whose vineyard becomes the object of King Ahab's desire. Naboth's refusal to sell his ancestral inheritance leads to a series of events orchestrated by Queen Jezebel, resulting in Naboth's unjust execution. This incident highlights the moral and spiritual decline during Ahab's reign and serves as a catalyst for prophetic judgment against the house of Ahab.

The term is also used in 2 Kings 9, where Jehu, anointed as king of Israel, executes judgment on the house of Ahab, fulfilling the prophecy against Jezebel and her family. The city of Jezreel becomes a focal point for these dramatic events, underscoring its significance in the narrative of Israel's monarchy.

The Jizreelites, therefore, are associated with a city that is both agriculturally prosperous and historically pivotal, serving as a backdrop for key events in the biblical narrative.
