And Jezreel, etc.] 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, (<061534>Joshua 15:34).
