The Holy Bible account significant events which took place in the Valley of Jezreel, here are to site a few - the army led by Deborah and Barak defeated the army of King Jabin of Hazor led by the commander Sisera. The defeat occurred near the River Kishon that flows through the Jezreel Valley. God brought a thunderstorm that caused the small stream to overflow its banks and carry away the enemy (
Judges 4:9-16, 5:21).
Gideon and his band of 300 soldiers defeated the Midianites in the Valley of Jezreel (
Judges 7:1-23). Jehu drove "like a madman" across the Valley of Jezreel to the city of Jezreel where he killed Joram, king of Israel (Ahab's son), and Jezebel, the queen mother, and he mortally wounded Ahaziah, king of Judah (whose maternal grandmother was Ahab) (
2 Kings 9:14-29)
