Is Gethsemane of Jesus' passion the King's Gardens? Compare these two descriptions:
kepos/kipos "garden" of Gethsemane/Gat-shmanim/Gat-shenim/Gat-semena/Gad-smane "oil/fat press", chorion/xorion "place/estate" (across brook/valley of Kidron, in vicinity of Mt of Olives/Olivet).
Gan-ha-melekh/Gan-ha-melech "garden of the king, king's garden(s)", royal wine press(es) (at confluence of the Kidron and the Central/Tyropoeon valleys), part of the gardens of the kings (valley in area, Mt of Olives).
"And before the city, at a place called Eroge, half the mountain broke off from the rest on the west, and rolled itself 4 furlongs, and stood still at the east mountain, till the roads, as well as the King's Gardens, were spoiled by the obstruction. ... after which he died with grief and anxiety at what had happened to him, when he had lived 68 years, and reigned of them 52; and was buried by himself in his own gardens." (Josephus.)
Both are similar gardens. The names are somewhat similar looking/sounding (and n & l sometimes interchange, and -kh can be dropped/added). The King is Yeshua (and the estate & king's garden are maybe similar/related). The oil/fat press and wine press are similar (and the wine press is simila to Jesus sweating blood). Both are in the Kidron area, and the Mt of Olives area.
The "after which he died with grief and anxiety" is like Jesus too, and so is the "was buried by himself in his own gardens" (Garden Tomb of Joseph of Arimathea). 68 is double the age of about 34 that Jesus died at.

Or else could Gethsemane be Etham?
"There was a certain place about 50 furlongs (6 miles) distant from Jerusalem, which is called Etham, very pleasant it is in fine gardens, and abounding in rivulets of water"
(Josephus' Antiquities.)
(Etham rhymes with Gethsemane. But this is abit too far from Jerusalem.)
