Harod
Palpitation, a fountain near which Gideon and his army encamped on the morning of the day when they encountered and routed the Midianites (Judg 7:1–25). It was south of the hill Moreh. The present ‘Ain Jalud (“Goliath’s Fountain”), south of Jezreel and nearly opposite Shunem, is probably the fountain here referred to (Judg 7:4, Judg 7:5).
