Hizkia ini juga telah membendung aliran Gihon di sebelah hulu, dan menyalurkannya ke hilir, ke sebelah barat, ke kota Daud. Hizkia berhasil dalam segala usahanya.
Maka Yehizkia itu juga yang sudah menebat pancuran air Gihon yang di atas itu, dan dialirkannya dalam saluran dari bawah tanah ke sebelah barat negeri Daud, karena segala sesuatu yang dimulai Yehizkia berbuat itu disampaikannya juga dengan selamat.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper water course of Gihon,.... Which Procopius Gazeus says was the same with Siloam, and which it seems had two streams, and this was the upper one; Mr. Maundrell says c, the pool of Gihon
"lies about two furlongs without Bethlehem gate westward; it is a stately pool, one hundred and six paces long, and sixty seven broad, and lined with wall and plaster, and was, when we were there, well stored with water:''
and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David; through canals under the plain of the city of David; as the Targum, by a subterraneous passage; and Siloam, as Dr. Lightfoot d observes from Josephus, was behind the west wall, not far from the corner that pointed toward the southwest:
and Hezekiah prospered in all his works; natural, civil, and religious, 2 Chronicles 31:21.
c Journey from Aleppo, &c. p. 108. d Chorograph. in John, c. 5. sect. 2.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See 2 Chronicles 32:3 note. Either then or afterward, Hezekiah conducted the water of this spring by an underground channel down the Tyropoeon valley to a pool or reservoir (marginal reference).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
