And Jezreel,.... This Jezreel in the tribe of Judah is different from that which was once a royal seat of some of the kings of Israel, and from whence the famous valley of Jezreel or Esdraelon had its name: of this we have no other account elsewhere:
and Jokdeam; of which we have no other mention:
and Zanoah is a distinct place from the city of the same name in the valley, Joshua 15:34.

Jezreel, the home of Ahinoam (1-Samuel 25:43; 1-Samuel 27:3, etc.), a different place from the Jezreel in the plain of Esdraelon, has not yet been discovered. This also applies to Jokdeam and Zanoah, which are only met with here.
