The name "Rogel" itself is derived from a Hebrew root meaning "to tread" or "to trample," which may suggest a place that was well-trodden or frequently visited.<br><br><b>En-rogel</b><br><br>En-rogel is a significant site mentioned in the Old Testament, particularly in the context of the tribal boundaries and historical events during the time of King David. The term "En-rogel" translates to "spring of the fuller" or "spring of the launderer," indicating its use as a place for washing or cleansing.<br><br><b>Biblical References</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/joshua/15-7.htm">Joshua 15:7</a></b> · En-rogel is first mentioned in the delineation of the tribal boundaries of Judah. The passage describes the border going up to Debir from the Valley of Achor, turning northward to Gilgal, and passing by the ascent of Adummim, which is south of the valley. The border then continues to the waters of En-shemesh and ends at En-rogel.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/joshua/18-16.htm">Joshua 18:16</a></b> · The site is also noted in the description of the territory of the tribe of Benjamin. The boundary descends to the foot of the hill facing the Valley of Ben Hinnom, north of the Valley of Rephaim, and continues down the Valley of Hinnom, south of the Jebusite city, to En-rogel.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/2_samuel/17-17.htm">2 Samuel 17:17</a></b> · En-rogel plays a role in the narrative of King David's reign. During Absalom's rebellion, Jonathan and Ahimaaz, the sons of the priests, stayed at En-rogel. A servant girl was to go and inform them, and they were to go and tell King David, for they could not risk being seen entering the city.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/1_kings/1-9.htm">1 Kings 1:9</a></b> · The site is also mentioned in the account of Adonijah's attempt to usurp the throne of David. Adonijah held a sacrificial feast at the stone of Zoheleth near En-rogel, inviting all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the royal officials of Judah, except for Solomon and those loyal to him.<br><br><b>Historical and Geographical Context</b><br><br>En-rogel is traditionally identified with a site near the modern-day village of Silwan, just outside the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. It is located at the confluence of the Kidron and Hinnom Valleys. The spring at En-rogel would have been a vital water source for the inhabitants of ancient Jerusalem and its surrounding areas.<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b><br><br>In the biblical narrative, En-rogel serves as a backdrop for significant events in the history of Israel, particularly during the united monarchy under King David. The site is associated with both political intrigue and divine providence, as seen in the accounts of Absalom's rebellion and Adonijah's failed coup. These events underscore themes of loyalty, divine election, and the fulfillment of God's promises to David and his descendants.<br><br>En-rogel's mention in the context of tribal boundaries also highlights the importance of land and inheritance in the covenant relationship between God and the people of Israel. The precise delineation of tribal territories reflects the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham to give his descendants the land of Canaan.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/5883.htm"><span class="l">5883.
