From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Jesharelah       upright towards God, the head of the seventh division of       Levitical musicians (1 Chr. 25:14).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Jezreel       God scatters. (1.) A town of Issachar (Josh. 19:18), where the       kings of Israel often resided (1 Kings 18:45; 21:1; 2 Kings       9:30). Here Elijah met Ahab, Jehu, and Bidkar; and here Jehu       executed his dreadful commission against the house of Ahab (2       Kings 9:14-37; 10:1-11). It has been identified with the modern       Zerin, on the most western point of the range of Gilboa,       reaching down into the great and fertile valley of Jezreel, to       which it gave its name.                (2.) A town in Judah (Josh. 15:56), to the south-east of       Hebron. Ahinoam, one of David's wives, probably belonged to this       place (1 Sam. 27:3).                (3.) A symbolical name given by Hosea to his oldest son (Hos.       1:4), in token of a great slaughter predicted by him, like that       which had formerly taken place in the plain of Esdraelon (comp.       Hos. 1:4, 5).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Jezreel, Blood of       the murder perpetrated here by Ahab and Jehu (Hos. 1:4; comp. 1       Kings 18:4; 2 Kings 9:6-10).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Jezreel, Day of       the time predicted for the execution of vengeance for the deeds       of blood committed there (Hos. 1:5).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Jezreel, Ditch of       (1 Kings 21:23; comp. 13), the fortification surrounding the       city, outside of which Naboth was executed.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Jezreel, Fountain of       where Saul encamped before the battle of Gilboa (1 Sam. 29:1).       In the valley under Zerin there are two considerable springs,       one of which, perhaps that here referred to, "flows from under a       sort of cavern in the wall of conglomerate rock which here forms       the base of Gilboa. The water is excellent; and issuing from       crevices in the rocks, it spreads out at once into a fine limpid       pool forty or fifty feet in diameter, full of fish" (Robinson).       This may be identical with the "well of Harod" (Judg. 7:1; comp.       2 Sam. 23:25), probably the 'Ain Jalud, i.e., the "spring of       Goliath."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Jezreel, Portion of       the field adjoining the city (2 Kings 9:10, 21, 36, 37). Here       Naboth was stoned to death (1 Kings 21:13).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Jezreel, Tower of       one of the turrets which guarded the entrance to the city (2       Kings 9:17).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Jezreel, Valley of       lying on the northern side of the city, between the ridges of       Gilboa and Moreh, an offshoot of Esdraelon, running east to the       Jordan (Josh. 17:16; Judg. 6:33; Hos. 1:5). It was the scene of       the signal victory gained by the Israelites under Gideon over       the Midianites, the Amalekites, and the "children of the east"       (Judg. 6:3). Two centuries after this the Israelites were here       defeated by the Philistines, and Saul and Jonathan, with the       flower of the army of Israel, fell (1 Sam. 31:1-6).                This name was in after ages extended to the whole of the plain       of Esdraelon (q.v.). It was only this plain of Jezreel and that       north of Lake Huleh that were then accessible to the chariots of       the Canaanites (comp. 2 Kings 9:21; 10:15).
