Et portam fontis dificavit Sellum filius Cholhoza, princeps pagi Maspha: ipse dificavit eam, et texit, et statuit valvas ejus, et seras, et vectes, et muros piscin Silo in hortum regis, et usque ad gradus qui descendunt de civitate David.
Et portam Fontis restauravit Sellum filius Cholhoza princeps pagi Maspha; ipse aedificavit eam et texit et statuit valvas eius et seras et vectes et murum piscinae Siloae iuxta hortum regis et usque ad gradus, qui descendunt de civitate David.

the gate: Nehemiah 2:14, Nehemiah 12:37, 2 Chronicles 32:30
the ruler: Nehemiah 3:9, Nehemiah 3:12, Nehemiah 3:14
Mizpah: Nehemiah 3:7, Judges 20:1, Judges 20:3, Mizpeh, Jeremiah 40:6
Siloah: Siloah was situated under the eastern wall of Jerusalem, between that city and the brook Kedron, and is described by Chateaubriand as lying at the foot of Mount Zion. Dr. Richardson represents the pool of Siloam as occurring higher up the valley of Jehoshaphat, towards the north, than the well of Nehemiah, a little beyond the village of Siloa, and nearly opposite the tombs of Jehoshaphat and Zechariah. Isaiah 8:6, Shiloah, Luke 13:4, John 9:7, Siloam
the stairs: 2 Samuel 5:6, 2 Samuel 5:7
Reciprocal: 2 Kings 9:13 - on the top Nehemiah 3:19 - Mizpah Nehemiah 11:5 - Colhozeh
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.
