Where is Jeruel in the Bible?

Jeruel appears in the Bible as a wilderness region associated with the kingdom of Judah, mentioned specifically in 2 Chronicles 20:16. This location is most famous as the site where King Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah miraculously defeated a vast coalition of enemies through divine intervention rather than military force. The exact geographical location of the Wilderness of Jeruel remains uncertain to scholars, though some suggest it may be related to the Jezreel region of Judah mentioned in Joshua 15:56. The event at Jeruel demonstrates God's protection of Judah during a time of military threat and stands as a significant account of faith and divine deliverance in the Old Testament.
