There were two such ponds to the west of Jerusalem, formed by the waters of the fountain Shiloah [by some other fountain, not Shiloah], “the upper pool,” Isaiah 7:3, called also “the old pool,” Isaiah 22:11, and “the king’s pool,” Nehemiah 2:14, as watering the king’s gardens (Nehemiah 3:15); and “the lower pool,” Isaiah 22:9, which was used for supplying the lower city with water.
