Jezreel, Portion of
Jezreel, Portion Of
(), merely signifies the field or country adjoining the city, where the crime of Ahab had been perpetrated, and where its retribution was to be exacted (2Ki 9:10; 2Ki 9:21; 2Ki 9:36-37; comp. 2Ki 9:25-26). Naboth was stoned to death outside the city of Jezreel (1Ki 21:13), and the dogs licked up Ahab’s blood that was clotted in the bottom of his chariot, before it was washed, near the pool of Samaria (1Ki 22:35; 1Ki 22:38); hence Schwarz (Palest. p. 165, note) proposes to render the expression in the place where (occurring in the sentence of retaliation, 1Ki 21:19), as signifying in punishment for that; but this construction is not in accordance with the Heb. idiom (see Gesenius’ Lex. s.v. ), and the other incidents furnish a sufficiently exact fulfilment of the prediction (see Clarke’s Comment. ad loc.).
