About Harod
A spring which Gideon and his army camped next to before their encounter with the Midianites (Judges 7:1). It might be the same spring by which Saul and his army set up their tents before their battle with the Philistines (1 Samuel 29:1). The spring of Harod is at ‘Ain Jalud by the northern side of Mt Gilboa. This is about 3.2 kilometers (two miles) southeast of Zerin.
