Tabor, and its south side is formed by the hills of Samaria, including the Gilboa Mts. Its apex is a narrow pass through which the brook Kishon makes its way to the Bay of Acre, formerly Accho. The town of Jezreel, now called Zer‘in, is on a northwest spur of the Gilboa Mts. overlooking the plain and commanding a view of the Jordan pass.
