Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 30. - Stopped the upper watercourse, etc. (see our vers. 3, 4). What Hezekiah "stopped" was the spring, or more strictly access to it, and guided its prized waters down, probably by an underground channel, to Siloam, or else to the pool in the city which he had constructed and enclosed by that "another wall without" (ver. 5), west of the "city of David."
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(30) This same Hezekiah also stopped.--And he, Hezekiah, had closed in the upper outlet of the waters of Gihon. (See 2Chronicles 32:3.)And brought . . . city of David.--And conducted them underground to the west of the city of David. (Comp. 2Kings 20:20, where also this great work of Hezekiah is referred to in concluding his history: "He made the pool, and the aqueduct, and brought the waters into the city.") The chronicler gives further details.Brought it straight.--Directed or conducted them (wayyashsh?r?m; the form in the Hebrew margin is a peculiar contraction of the ordinary piel form which appears in the text).And Hezekiah prospered.--2Chronicles 31:21; 1Chronicles 29:23. . . .
