 En-gannim
    fountain of gardens. (1.) A town in the plains of Judah (Josh.
    15:34), north-west of Jerusalem, between Zanoah and Tappuah. It
    is the modern Umm Jina.
      (2.) A city on the border of Machar (Josh. 19:21), allotted to
    the Gershonite Levites (21:29). It is identified with the modern
    Jenin, a large and prosperous town of about 4,000 inhabitants,
    situated 15 miles south of Mount Tabor, through which the road
    from Jezreel to Samaria and Jerusalem passes. When Ahaziah, king
    of Judah, attempted to escape from Jehu, he "fled by the way of
    the garden house" i.e., by way of En-gannim. Here he was
    overtaken by Jehu and wounded in his chariot, and turned aside
    and fled to Megiddo, a distance of about 20 miles, to die there.
