* Gihon.
   This was a fountain on the west of Jerusalem, (consequently in
   an opposite direction to En-rogel on the east, where Adonijah
   was proclaimed king,) of which there were two pools, an upper
   and a lower.  (2Ch 32:30.)  There is a large square cistern in
   the ravine west of the city, mentioned by Dr. Richardson as a
   little to the south of the Jaffa gate, which Dr. Pococke
   describes as a basin about 250; paces long and 100; broad.  It
   is commonly called the pool of Bathsheba, but seems to be the
   lower pool of Gihon.  "Nearly a mile to the N.N.W. is the pool
   of Gihon, which I suppose to be the upper pool.  It is a very
   large basin, and, if I mistake not, is cut down about ten feet
   into the rock, there being a way down to it by steps.  It was
   almost dry at that time, and seems designed to receive the
   rain waters which come from the hills about it.  There is a
   canal from the pool to the city, which is uncovered part of
   the way, and, it is said, goes to the pool in the streets near
   the holy sepulchre.  The fountain of Gihon arose either in the
   upper pool, or out of the high ground above it."--Travels,
   book i. ch. 6.
