The southwestern entrance to the valley is dominated by Megiddo (called in Rev. 16:16 “Armageddon”). Mt. Tabor is located in the northeast ? the site at which Deborah and her general Barak surrounded and destroyed the Canaanite army of Sisera. To the north, Nazareth overlooks the vast valley.

The broad valley is about 15 miles north to south, and 30 miles across. It is a well-watered are, with Kishor River to the west and the Harod River to the east.
