- the conduit of the upper pool:
- If the Fuller's field were near En-Rogel, or the Fuller's fountain, east of Jerusalem, as is generally supposed, then the conduit of the upper pool may been an aqueduct that brought the water from the upper or eastern reservoir of that fountain, which had been seized in order to distress the city. "And the restª of the actsª of Hezekiah,ª and all¹ his might,ª and how¹ he madeª°¹ a pool,ª and a conduit,ª and broughtª°¹ waterª into the city,ª [are] they¹ not¹ writtenª° in¹ the bookª of the chroniclesªª of the kingsª of Judah?ª" {2Kg 20:20} + "Then saidª° the LORDª unto¹ Isaiah,ª Go forthª° now¹ to meet²°¹ Ahaz,ª thou,¹ and Shearjashubª thy son,ª at¹ the endª of the conduitª of the upperª poolª in¹ the highwayª of the fuller'sª° field;ª" {Isa 7:3} + "Ye have seenª° also the breachesª of the cityª of David,ª that¹ they are many:ª° and ye gathered togetherª°¹ the watersª of the lowerª pool.ª ... Ye madeª° also a ditchª between¹ the two wallsª for the waterª of the oldª pool:ª but ye have not¹ lookedª° unto¹ the makerª° thereof, neither¹ had respectª° unto him that fashionedª° it long ago.ª¹" {Isa 22:9-11} + "And the kingª of Assyriaª sentª°¹ Rabshakehª from Lachishª¹ to Jerusalemª unto¹ kingª Hezekiahª with a greatª army.²¹ And he stoodª° by the conduitª of the upperª poolª in the highwayª of the fuller'sª° field.ª" {Isa 36:2}
