Fountain Gate
Holman Bible Dictionary
A city gate at the southeast corner of the walls of ancient Jerusalem (Nehemiah 2:14; Nehemiah 3:15; Nehemiah 12:37 ), probably so named because people brought water from the En-rogel or Gihon springs into the city through this gate. The gate is possibly identical with the “gate between the two walls” (2 Kings 25:4; Jeremiah 39:4; Jeremiah 52:7 ).
