Tempat
Megido
Tempat pasukan, semula merupakan salah satu kota kerajaan orang Kanaan (Yosua 12:21), termasuk bagian suku Manasye (Hakim-hakim 1:27), tetapi tampaknya baru diduduki sepenuhnya oleh orang Israel pada zaman Salomo (1 Raja-raja 4:12; 9:15).
Lembah atau dataran Megido merupakan bagian dari dataran Esdraelon, medan pertempuran besar di Palestina. Di sinilah Barak memperoleh kemenangan gemilang atas Yabin, raja Hazor, yang pasukannya dipimpin oleh panglima Sisera. Barak menghimpun para pejuang dari suku-suku utara, dan dengan dorongan Nabiah Debora (lihat), menyerang orang Kanaan di dataran luas tersebut. Pasukan Sisera menjadi kacau-balau, lalu tersapu oleh air Sungai Kison yang meluap dan membanjiri tepiannya (Hakim-hakim 4:5).
Bertahun-tahun kemudian (610 SM), Firaun Nekho II, dalam perjalanannya memerangi raja Asyur, melintasi dataran Filistia dan Saron; lalu Raja Yosia, yang berusaha menghalangi jalannya di dataran Megido, dikalahkan oleh pasukan Mesir. Ia terluka dalam pertempuran dan meninggal saat dibawa dengan kereta kudanya menuju Yerusalem (2 Raja-raja 23:29; 2 Tawarikh 35:22-24), dan seluruh Israel berkabung untuknya. Ratapan itu sedemikian meluas dan menyayat hati sehingga menjadi sebuah peribahasa, yang disinggung oleh Zakharia (2 Tawarikh 12:11, 12). Megido telah diidentifikasikan dengan el-Lejjun modern di hulu Sungai Kison, di bawah lereng timur laut Gunung Karmel, di tepi barat daya dataran Esdraelon, dan 9 mil di sebelah barat Yizreel. Ada pula yang mengidentifikasikannya dengan Mujedd’a, 4 mil di sebelah barat daya Bet-Sean, tetapi kepastian lokasinya masih belum dapat dipastikan.
