fullers field Summary and Overview

FUL'LERS' FIELD , a spot close to the walls of Jerusalem, 2 Kgs 18:17, 2 Kgs 18:26; Isa 36:2; 1 Kgs 7:3. One resort of the fullers appears to have been En-rogel, below and south-east of Jerusalem, but the place where Rabshakeh stood was probably on the north of the city, or perhaps near the Jaffa gate, at the upper Gihon pool, where fullers now whiten their garments.

Isaiah 7:3; Isaiah 36:2. The "conduit of the upper pool was in the highway (the raised causeway) of the fullers' field," which would be in a position near water for washing, previous to drying and bleaching the cloth. The Assyrian army advanced on Jerusalem from the N. (Isaiah 10:28-32), the only accessible side for a host; Enrogel was on the S.E. But Rabshakeh and his companions probably left the army, and advanced along the E. of mount Moriah to Enrogel, to a convenient place under the temple walls for speaking.
