So Isaiah 22:9 ; 2 Chronicles 32:4 . Shearjashub —that is, A remnant shall return ( Isaiah 6:13 ). His very name (compare Isaiah 7:14 ; Isaiah 8:3 ) was a standing memorial to Ahaz and the Jews that the nation should not, notwithstanding the general calamity ( Isaiah 7:17-25 ; Isaiah 8:6-8 ), be utterly destroyed ( Isaiah 10:21 ; Isaiah 10:22 ). conduit —an aqueduct from the pool or reservoir for the supply of the city. At the foot of Zion was Fount Siloah ( Isaiah 8:6 ; Nehemiah 3:15 ; John 9:7 ), called also Gihon, on the west of Jerusalem ( John 9:7- : ). Two pools were supplied from it, the Upper, or Old ( Isaiah 22:11 ), or King's ( Nehemiah 2:14 ), and the Lower ( Isaiah 22:9 ), which received the superfluous waters of the upper. The upper pool is still to be seen, about seven hundred yards from the Jaffa gate. The highway leading to the fullers' field, which was in a position near water for the purposes of washing, previous to drying and bleaching, the cloth, was probably alongside the aqueduct. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-4" class="com-number"
