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.
