The valley where major battles were fought — and the city of wicked king Ahab
Jezreel ValleyHistorically Verified
Dug up in the 1990s, revealing an Iron Age enclosure that matches the description of Ahab's royal complex.
A city in the Jezreel Valley in northern Israel where King Ahab had his second palace. Ahab and Jezebel had Naboth killed here to steal his vineyard — an act Elijah confronted them about. The valley below is the site of numerous biblical battles and is where the final battle (Armageddon) of Revelation is set.

2 Samuel
