Exegesis
The endpoint is expressed with ad-boakhah {עַד־בֹּאֲכָה | ʿad-bō-ʾă-ḵāh} ‘until the entrance of,’ and the directional ending in Yizreelah {יִזְרְעֶאלָה | yiz-rə-ʿē-lāh} ‘toward Jezreel’ specifies movement to the city’s approach rather than merely in its vicinity.
In context — 1 Kings 18:46
And the hand of the LORD was upon Elijah, and he girded up his waist , and he ran before Ahab as far as the entrance of Jezreel.
