Gideon's Fountain, Near Jezreel
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "At the foot of Gilboa Mountains in the fertile valley of Jezreel on the road between Jezreel and Beth Shean, this copious spring busts forth, called Gideon's Fountain because it has been located as the scene where Gideon tested the strength and faithfulness of his men and afterward won the victory over the Midianites (Judges 7-7).
The cavery furnishes a delightful place of retreat from the hot sun of that valley after a hard forenoon's travel either from Jenin of Beisan. The pool is made entirely by a dam, apparently ancient, and from it the water is carried off to operate a succession of mills down the valley."
