Apraksts
[= (avots) valkātāju?], aka pie robežas starp Jūdas [Joz 15:7 ] un Benjamīna [Joz 18:16 ] ciltīm, ar svēto akmeni Cohelet [= čūska], pie kura tika rīkotas reliģiskas svinības. Pie šīs akas gaidīja Jonatāns un Ahimāzs, lai saņemtu ziņu no Hūšaja, kuru viņam bija jānodod Dāvidam, bēgot no Absaloma [2Sam 17:17 ]. Šeit arī Adonija ar saviem atbalstītājiem rīkoja reliģisku svinību, kad gatavojās pārņemt varu pār Izraēlu pēc Dāvida [1Ken 1:9 ].

En-rogel
fountain of the treaders; i.e., "foot-fountain;" also called the "fullers' fountain," because fullers here trod the clothes in water. It has been identified with the "fountain of the virgin" (q.v.), the modern 'Ain Ummel-Daraj. Others identify it, with perhaps some probability, with the Bir Eyub, to the south of the Pool of Siloam, and below the junction of the valleys of Kidron and Hinnom. (See FOUNTAIN)
It was at this fountain that Jonathan and Ahimaaz lay hid after the flight of David (2Sam 17:17 ); and here also Adonijah held the feast when he aspired to the throne of his father (1Kings 1:9).
The Bir Eyub, or "Joab's well," "is a singular work of ancient enterprise. The shaft sunk through the solid rock in the bed of the Kidron is 125 feet deep...The water is pure and entirely sweet, quite different from that of Siloam; which proves that there is no connection between them." Thomson's Land and the Book.
