---excerpt from the Illustrated Bible Dictionary.

En-shemesh - Fountain of the sun - a spring which formed one of the landmarks on the boundary between Judah and Benjamin (Joshua 15:7; Joshua 18:17). It was between the "ascent of Adummim" and the spring of En-rogel, and hence was on the east of Jerusalem and of the Mount of Olives. It is the modern 'Ain-Haud i.e., the "well of the apostles" about a mile east of Bethany, the only spring on the road to Jericho. The sun shines on it the whole day long.
