Gill's Notes on the Bible
This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper water course of Gihon,.... Which Procopius Gazeus says was the same with Siloam, and which it seems had two streams, and this was the upper one; Mr. Maundrell says c, the pool of Gihon
"lies about two furlongs without Bethlehem gate westward; it is a stately pool, one hundred and six paces long, and sixty seven broad, and lined with wall and plaster, and was, when we were there, well stored with water:''
and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David; through canals under the plain of the city of David; as the Targum, by a subterraneous passage; and Siloam, as Dr. Lightfoot d observes from Josephus, was behind the west wall, not far from the corner that pointed toward the southwest:
and Hezekiah prospered in all his works; natural, civil, and religious, 2 Chronicles 31:21.
c Journey from Aleppo, &c. p. 108. d Chorograph. in John, c. 5. sect. 2.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See 2 Chronicles 32:3 note. Either then or afterward, Hezekiah conducted the water of this spring by an underground channel down the Tyropoeon valley to a pool or reservoir (marginal reference).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 32:30. The upper watercourse — He made canals to bring the waters of Gihon from the west side of Jerusalem to the west side of the city of David.
