The Well of Harod or Spring of Harod (Hebrew: עין חרוד, Ein Harod) is a spring near the two kibbutzim called Ein Harod in the Jezreel Valley in Israel. In Arabic it is called `Ain Jalut (عين جالوت) meaning the Spring of Goliath.〔Palmer, 1881, p. (157 )〕 It is mentioned in the Book of Judges, chapter 7, where it is said that Gideon chose his men according to how they drank water from the Well of Harod.〔(Gideon's Army of Three Hundred )〕 In the Battle of Ain Jalut in 1260, the Mamluks defeated the Mongol army of Hulagu Khan which was under the command of Kitbuqa. According to the Palestine Exploration Fund's ''Survey of Western Palestine'' 1882, Victor Guérin stated that the rock from which the fountain springs has been artificially hollowed into a cavern. 〔Conder and Kitchener, 1882, SWP II, p. (101 )〕 It is now a national park called Ma'ayan Ḥarod. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Well of Harod」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
