 * Jezreel.
   Jezreel, or Esdr(916c)on, was a city of Issachar, afterwards
   celebrated as the residence of the kings of Israel,
   delightfully situated in the extensive and fertile plain of
   the same name, which extends from Scythopolis or Bethshan on
   the east to mount Carmel on the west.  Eusebius and Jerome
   inform us, that it was in their time a place of considerable
   consequence, lying between Scythopolis on the east and Legio
   on the west; and the latter (on Ho 1.) informs us that it was
   pretty near Maximianopolis.  The Jerusalem Itinerary places it
   ten miles west from Scythopolis; and William of Tyre says it
   was called Little Gerinum in his time, and that there was a
   fine fountain in it, whose waters fell into the Jordan near
   Scythopolis.  See ver. 1.
