City and valley on the borders of Issachar and Manasseh. It was conquered by Joshua. Joshua 12:21 . Later it is mentioned among the cities from which Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants; "the Canaanites would dwell in that land." Joshua 17:11; Judges 1:27 . The rout of Sisera's army was in this district; and at Megiddo Josiah fell when he rashly attacked Pharaoh-nechoh. Judges 5:19; 1 Kings 4:12; 1 Kings 9:15; 2 Kings 9:27; 2 Kings 23:29,30; 1 Chronicles 7:29; 2 Chronicles 35:22; Zechariah 12:11 . See ARMAGEDDON. The city is identified by some with el Lejjun, 32 28' N, 35 27' E . The valley is otherwise known as 'the valley of Jezreel.' The WATERS of MEGIDDO probably refer to the copious springs found in that district.
