FULLER’S FIELD*
Place outside Jerusalem that was linked to a spring or pool by a causeway or aqueduct (2 Kgs 18:17; Is 7:3; 36:2). It has been generally identified with an area near En-rogel (“spring of the fuller”). The spring was south of Jerusalem in the Kidron Valley. It was originally the tribal boundary between Judah and Benjamin (Jos 15:7; 18:16). When Absalom rebelled and King David fled from Jerusalem, two of David’s men stayed at En-rogel to gather information about the rebellion (2 Sm 17:17).
En-rogel has been identified with the modern Bir Attub, or “Job’s Well,” on the left bank of Wadi en-Nar. The well sinks deep into the rock, reaches an underground stream, and gushes forth following rainfalls.
