Jezreel: A Valley: Place of the Defeat of the Israelites Under Saul and Jonathan

Now the Philistines brought all their forces together at Aphek, while Israel camped by the spring in Jezreel.

So David and his men got up early in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before them, and many fell slain on Mount Gilboa. …

And Jonathan son of Saul had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the report about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel. His nurse picked him up and fled, but as she was hurrying to escape, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
