Antiquities of the Orient unveiled, containing a concise description of the remarkable ruins of King Solomon's temple, and store cities ,together with those of all the most ancient and renowned cities of the East, including Babylon, Nineveh, Damascus, and Shushan . 46 The city is nearly surrounded by two ravines orvalleys: Jehosliaphat on the east, and Hinnom on thewest and south. THE VAiLEY OF JEHOSHAPHAT commences well around to the north of the city, andat first its course is nearly east for a mile and a half;it then makes a sharp bend to the south, which courseit follows to En Rogel, a deep well a short distancebelow the city.
