EN-ROGEL

Spring that was an important landmark identifying the boundary line between the tribes of Judah and Benjamin (Jos 15:7 (RV · LV · Read together); 18:16 (RV · LV · Read together)). Jonathan and Ahimaaz hid at En-rogel when they were spying on Absalom’s troops for King David (2 Sm 17:17 (RV · LV · Read together)), and from there a maidservant delivered their messages to the king. Here also Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and goats when he anticipated David’s death and wished to set himself up as king (1 Kgs 1:9 (RV · LV · Read together)).

Of the two suggested locations for En-rogel, the older suggestion identifies it with a spring in a cave near Siloam, on the west side of the Kidron Valley, known as the Virgin’s Fount. There is strong evidence, however, that this is actually the Gihon Spring (1 Kgs 1:33 (RV · LV · Read together)), which is mentioned as distinct from En-rogel. A more likely suggestion is another spring south of Jerusalem known as the Well of Job.
