They set its doors in place in the wall. The priests worked on the wall of Jerusalem as far as the Tower of the Hundred and the Tower of Hananel. They prayed to make all this work holy to God. 2 The men from Jericho built the wall next to the priests. And Zaccur son of a man named Imri built the wall next to the men of Jericho. 3 The sons of a man named Hassenaah built the Fish Gate. They set the beams in place. They put doors on the building.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But the gate of the fountain,.... Of which see Nehemiah 2:14
repaired Shallum, the son of Colhozeh, the ruler of part of Mizpah; of a tract, district, town, or city so called; perhaps that in the tribe of Benjamin; see Nehemiah 3:7,
he built it, and covered it; roofed it, which is not said of any of the other gates, whether because of the fountain at it:
and set up the doors thereof, c. finished it completely:
and the wall of the pool of Siloah, by the king's garden which was formerly without the wall, on the west, but afterwards taken in by Manasseh, who built it; see 2 Chronicles 33:14, and from hence the king's garden was watered:
and unto the stairs that go down from the city of David: Zion, which was built on an eminence, from which they went down by steps into the lower city Acra.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The âpool of Siloahâ lies at the southwestern foot of the temple hill, near the lower end of the Tyropoeon. It appears to have been at all times beyond the line of the city wall, but was perhaps joined to the city by a fortification of its own.
The kingâs gardens - See 2 Kings 25:4 note.
The stairs - A flight of steps, still to be seen, led from the low valley of the Tyropoeon up the steep sides of Ophel to the âcity of David,â which it reached probably at a point not far south of the temple.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 15. The pool of Siloah — This is probably the same as that mentioned by the evangelists.
The stairs that go down from the city of David. — Jerusalem being built on very uneven ground, and some hills being taken within the walls; there was a necessity that there should be in different places steps by which they could ascend and descend: probably similar to what we see in the city of Bristol.
