Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) The fountains.--Ma'y?noth. 2Chronicles 32:3 has "springs" ('ay?noth).The brook.--Nachal. "The wady." The Gihon is meant, a watercourse in the Valley of Hinnom, supplied with water by the springs which Hezekiah closed in and diverted. See Note on 2Chronicles 32:30, and 2Kings 20:20; comp. Ecclesiasticus 48:17, "Hezekiah fortified his city, and brought into their midst the Gog" (LXX., Vat.), or, "into its midst water" (LXX., Alex.).That ran.--That was flowing over (Isaiah 30:28; Isaiah 8:8). The overflow of the springs formed the stream. . . .
