En-rogel

En-roh´guhl; Heb., “spring of a treader or fuller”

The name of a spring near Jerusalem that served as the boundary line between the tribes of Judah and Benjamin (Josh 15:7; Josh 18:16). During the rebellion of Absalom against his father, David, this spring was the place where information was passed by a maidservant to David’s men (2Sam 17:17). Later, when David was near death, his other son, Adonijah, prematurely declared himself king while sacrificing animals and celebrating with his friends by the Serpent’s Stone, which was beside En-rogel (1Kgs 1:5-10).
