The Gate of the Fountain was one of Jerusalem's southern or south-eastern gates near the water system and the king's garden area. It is important because it appears in Nehemiah's inspection and rebuilding route. First appears in Neh 2:14.1
AI summary: The Gate of the Fountain is significant because it belongs to the stretch of Jerusalem where walls, springs, pools, and gardens all interacted. In Nehemiah it marks part of the painstaking work of surveying and restoring the breached city. The cross references present it as a water-adjacent gateway of repair, movement, and urban recovery.1
