From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The possession by the Canaanites of chariots strengthened and tipped with iron, such as were used by the EgyptiansExodus 14:7, is named here by the children of Joseph as a reason why they could not possess themselves of the plains. “The valley of Jezreel” is the broad low valley which sweeps from “Zerin” between the mountains of Gilboa and the range of little Hermon eastward down to the Jordan. It was most likely in this valley that the host of the Midianites was encamped, when attacked by GideonJudges 7:1,Judges 7:8.
