The name "Jezreel" represents the punishment to come unto the royal house. In the Old Testament, Jezreel was a city in Israel that became associated with God's judgment upon the ruling family of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel, due to their wickedness and disobedience. The prophet Hosea also named his son "Jezreel" as a symbolic act to indicate that God would soon punish the royal house of Israel for their sins, just as He had punished the house of Ahab in Jezreel. Therefore, the name "Jezreel" signifies divine judgment and punishment.
