From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Rephidim       supports, one of the stations of the Israelites, situated in the       Wady Feiran, near its junction with the Wady esh-Sheikh. Here no       water could be found for the people to drink, and in their       impatience they were ready to stone Moses, as if he were the       cause of their distress. At the command of God Moses smote "the       rock in Horeb," and a copious stream flowed forth, enough for       all the people. After this the Amalekites attacked the       Israelites while they were here encamped, but they were utterly       defeated (Ex. 17:1, 8-16). They were the "first of the nations"       to make war against Israel (Num. 24:20).                Leaving Rephidim, the Israelites advanced into the wilderness       of Sinai (Ex. 19:1, 2; Num. 33:14, 15), marching probably       through the two passes of the Wady Solaf and the Wady       esh-Sheikh, which converge at the entrance to the plain       er-Rahah, the "desert of Sinai," which is two miles long and       about half a mile broad. (See {SINAI}; {MERIBAH}.)
