- Siloah:
- Siloah was situated under the eastern wall of Jerusalem, between that city and the brook Kedron, and is described by Chateaubriand as lying at the foot of Mount Zion. Dr. Richardson represents the pool of Siloam as occurring higher up the valley of Jehoshaphat, towards the north, than the well of Nehemiah, a little beyond the village of Siloa, and nearly opposite the tombs of Jehoshaphat and Zechariah. "Forasmuchª¹ as this¹ peopleª refusethª°¹ the watersª of Shiloahª that goª° softly,ª and rejoice² in¹¹ Rezinª and Remaliah'sª son;ª" {Isa 8:6}, Shiloah, "Orª thoseª eighteen,ªªª uponª whomª the¹ towerª inª Siloamª fell,ª° andª slewª° them,ª think¹ ye²° thatª theyª wereª° sinnersª aboveª allª menª that dweltª° inª Jerusalem?ª" {Lke 13:4} + "Andª saidª° unto him,ª Go,ª° washª° inª the¹ poolª of Siloam,ª (whichª is by interpretation,ª° Sent.)ª° He went his wayª° therefore,ª andª washed,ª° andª cameª° seeing.ª°" {Jhn 9:7}, Siloam
