"And their border was unto Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem," — Joshua 19:18 (ASV)
Jezreel and its famous and fertile plain are the choicest part of the inheritance of Issachar (Joshua 17:16).
Shunem - Here the Philistines pitched before the battle of Gilboa (1 Samuel 28:4). The place is also known as the home of Abishag (1 Kings 1:3), and in connection with Elisha (2 Kings 4:8; 2 Kings 8:1). It is identified with “Solam” (or, Sulem), a small and poor village on the slope of Little Hermon.
