Zoheleth, meaning "the serpent stone," was a rock near the spring of En-rogel outside Jerusalem where Adonijah, David's son, held a sacrificial feast to have himself proclaimed king while David lay dying, deliberately leaving out Solomon, Nathan, and Solomon's other supporters (1 Kings 1:9-10). The plot collapsed once Nathan and Bathsheba persuaded David to have Solomon publicly anointed instead.
