Esdraelon & Lower Galilee

the Greek for Jezreel
Esdraelon and Galilee
a place of conflict

Esdraelon was the Greek name for Jezreel though strictly it was the marshy area adjacent to the more fertile Jezreel. Many conflicts were fought in the area; Deborah against Sisera (Judg. 4), Saul against the Philistines (1 Sam. 29: 1), and Josiah against the Egyptians (2 Kgs).

The Bible names the valley as the location where the “final battle” or Armageddon will take place.
