Dict: easton - En-rogel

easton:

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 ( kjv@2Samuel:17:17); and here also Adonijah held the feast when he aspired to the throne of his father (kjvKings: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 Isaiah: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.
