     * 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.
