Jezreel approach via Mount Gilboa

The city of Jezreel once sat at the southeastern corner of the Jezreel Valley, within sight of the  Gilboa Mountains. The elevated hill in this video is Tel Jezreel. Only a few ruins have been  excavated here, and they’re mostly covered by vegetation. The end of the video has a clear shot  of Mt. Gilboa in the distance. Saul fell on his sword on Gilboa. Ahab and Jezebel stole a  vineyard from Naboth in this town. Jezebel arranged to have Naboth unjustly charged with a  crime and stoned to death to accomplish the deal (1 Kings 21:1-29). Elijah quickly confronted  the king and his evil wife at Jezreel. Ahab repented, but Jezebel did not. In time, she was thrown  from an upper-story window in the same city (2 Kings 9:33) and eaten by dogs before she could  be given a decent burial.
