Zoheleth

Zoheleth (meaning: that creeps; slides; or draws) was a rocky plateau or stone ledge near the village of Siloam and the spring of En-rogel in the Kidron valley southeast of Jerusalem. It is mentioned in 1 Kings 1:9 as the place where Adonijah slaughtered oxen, fat cattle, and sheep in a feast to which he invited all his brothers and the royal officers — but not Solomon, Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, or Benaiah.

While this feast was in progress at Zoheleth, Nathan alerted Bathsheba and they informed David, who immediately ordered Solomon anointed king at the Gihon spring. When the shout of the city reached Adonijah's guests at Zoheleth, they fled in terror. Adonijah himself fled to take hold of the horns of the altar and was pardoned by Solomon, at least temporarily.
