En-gannim is mentioned in Joshua 15:34 as one of the cities in the lowlands (Shephelah) of Judah. It is listed among other cities in this region, such as Zanoah, Eshtaol, and Zoreah.
The name En-gannim means "spring of the gardens," suggesting the presence of a water source and fertile land nearby. Its exact location is unknown.
