The Jezreel Valley in History | Armageddon

Armageddon represents this entire strategic valley area in North Israel. It is the gateway through the mountains from the North to Jerusalem. Here Gideon defeated Midian (Judges 6:33). Here Saul died in battle fighting the Philistines; Saul and Jonathan died on Mt. Gilboa which is in the eastern portion of Megiddo’s Jezreel Valley (1 Samuel 31:1; 2 Samuel 1:6, 21). And here Josiah was slain fighting against Pharoah-Necho (2 Kings 23:29-30). (Lou Nicholes in Ezekiel, The Exiled Prophet).
