  Zoheleth
     the serpent-stone, a rocky plateau near the centre of the
     village of Siloam, and near the fountain of En-rogel, to which
     the women of the village resort for water (1 Kings 1:5-9). Here
     Adonijah (q.v.) feasted all the royal princess except Solomon
     and the men who took part with him in his effort to succeed to


     the throne. While they were assembled here Solomon was
     proclaimed king, through the intervention of Nathan. On hearing
     this, adonijah fled and took refuge in the sanctuary (1 Kings
     1:49-53). He was afterwards pardoned.
     
       Zoheleth projects into or slightly over-hangs the Kidron
     valley. It is now called ez-Zehwell or Zahweileh.
