ZOHELETH. The Stone of Zoheleth was near the Fountain Rogel, or En-rogel, 1 Kings i. 9.just under the Walls of Jerusalem. The Rabbins tell us, that this Stone served as an Exercise to the young Men, who tried their Strength by throwing it, or rather rolling it or lifting it. Others think it was useful to the Fullers, or Whitsters, to beat their Cloaths upon, after they had washed them.
