<p> ''''' hā´rod ''''' ( ען חרד , <i> ''''' ‛ēn ḥărōdh ''''' </i> , "fountain of trembling"): The fountain beside which (probably above it) [[Gideon]] and his army were encamped (&nbsp; Judges 7:1 ). Moore ( <i> Judges </i> , in the place cited.) argues, inconclusively, that the hill [[Moreh]] must be sought near Shechem, and that the well of [[Harod]] must be some spring in the neighborhood of that city. There is no good reason to question the accuracy of the common view which places this spring at <i> ''''' ‛Ain Jalūd ''''' </i> , on the edge of the vale of Jezreel, about 2 miles East of <i> ''''' Zer‛ı̄n ''''' </i> , and just under the northern cliffs of Gilboa. A copious spring of clear cold water rises in a rocky cave and flows out into a large pool, whence it drains off, in <i> ''''' Nahr Jalūd ''''' </i> , down the vale past <i> ''''' Beisān ''''' </i> to the Jordan. This is probably also to be identified with the spring "which is in Jezreel," i.e. in the district, near which Saul encamped before the battle of [[Gilboa]] (&nbsp;1 Samuel 29:1 ). <i> ''''' ‛Ain el ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' Meiyiteh ''''' </i> , just below <i> ''''' Zer‛ı̄n ''''' </i> on the North, is hardly of sufficient size and importance to be a rival to <i> ''''' ‛Ain Jalūd ''''' </i> . See [[Esdraelon]] . </p>
