Slangestenen
Beskrivelse
Slange-stenen, et klippeplateau nær centrum af landsbyen Siloam og tæt på kilden En-rogel, hvor landsbyens kvinder henter vand [1Kong 1:5 -9]. Her festede Adonija (se Adonija) med alle de kongelige prinsesser undtagen Salomon og de mænd, der deltog med ham i hans forsøg på at efterfølge tronen. Mens de var samlet her, blev Salomon udråbt til konge gennem Nathans indgriben. Da Adonija hørte dette, flygtede han og søgte tilflugt i helligdommen [1Kong 1:49 -53]. Han blev senere benådet.
Zoheleth strækker sig ind i eller hænger let over Kidron-dalen. Det kaldes nu ez-Zehwell eller Zahweileh.

Zoheleth
the serpent-stone, a rocky plateau near the centre of the village of Siloam, and near the fountain of En-rogel, to which the women of the village resort for water (1Kings 1:5-9). Here Adonijah (q.v.) feasted all the royal princess except Solomon and the men who took part with him in his effort to succeed to the throne. While they were assembled here Solomon was proclaimed king, through the intervention of Nathan. On hearing this, adonijah fled and took refuge in the sanctuary (1Kings 1:49-53). He was afterwards pardoned.
Zoheleth projects into or slightly over-hangs the Kidron valley. It is now called ez-Zehwell or Zahweileh.
