En-rogel was a spring just south of Jerusalem, near where the Kidron and Hinnom valleys meet, likely used by fullers treading cloth in its waters. Jonathan and Ahimaaz hid there to relay intelligence to David during Absalom's revolt (2 Samuel 17:17), and it was the site where David's son Adonijah held a feast to proclaim himself king, a bid for the throne undone when Solomon was anointed at Gihon instead (1 Kings 1:5-53). Many identify it with the deep shaft known as Bir Ayyub, "Job's Well," south of the Pool of Siloam.
