En Harod

En Harod (Hebrew: עֵין חֲרֹד, romanized: en Charod), or the Spring of Harod, is the name for a water source in the story of Gideon in the Hebrew Bible's Book of Judges. It is the location where Gideon's forces set up their camp ahead of battling the Midianites. There is no consensus about its location, in spite of the name being used in modern Israel in connection with a spring (Ma'ayan Harod, "Harod Spring") and valley (Harod Valley) on the northern side of Mount Gilboa.
