Pintu gerbang Mata Air diperbaiki oleh Salum bin Kolhoze, penguasa wilayah Mizpa. Pintu gerbang itu dibangunnya kembali, diberinya atap dan dipasangnya pintu-pintunya dengan pengancing-pengancing dan palang-palangnya. Juga diperbaikinya tembok kolam penampung air saluran, dekat taman raja sampai pada tangga-tangga yang menurun dari kota Daud.

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 “pool of Siloah” 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 king’s 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 “city of David,” 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.
