SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:14
Pasé luego a la puerta de la Fuente, y al estanque del Rey; mas no había lugar por donde pasase la bestia en que iba.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 2:14
Verse 14. The gate of the fountain] Of Siloah. The king's pool] Probably the aqueduct made by Hezekiah, to bring the waters of Gihon to the city of David. See 2 Chronicles xxxii. 30.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. Then I went on to the pool of the fountain, and to the king’s pool . etc.] That led to the fountain Siloah or Gihon, so called; it was the way to the potter’s field, to Bethlehem, Hebron, Gaza, and Egypt. Rauwolff says there is still standing on the outside of the valley Tyropaeum (which distinguishes the two mountains Zion and Moriah) the gate of the fountain, which hath its name, because it leadeth towards the fountain of Siloah, called the king’s pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass ; because of the heaps of rubbish that lay there.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-18 - When Nehemiah had considered the matter, he told the Jews that God ha put it into his heart to build the wall of Jerusalem. He does no undertake to do it without them. By stirring up ourselves and on another to that which is good, we strengthen ourselves and one anothe for it. We are weak in our duty, when we are cold and careless.
