About En-shemesh
Place mentioned only in Joshua 15:7 and 18:17 as a boundary marker between Judah’s northern border and Benjamin’s southern border. The usual identification is with ’Ain el-Hod, about three miles (4.8 kilometers) east of Jerusalem on the road to Jericho. On the basis of a tradition that the apostles drank there, it is sometimes referred to as the Spring of the Apostles.
