"[2] The only place in historical Jerusalem where water is flowing year-round, thanks to the nearby Gihon Spring, allowing for permanent growth of natural vegetation and agriculture, is at the confluence of the Kidron and the Central (aka Tyropoeon) valleys.
[3] The area known as the King's Garden is today planted with many fruit trees that are nourished by the water run-off from the Pool of Siloam.
[3] The term is used repeatedly (2 Kings 25:4; Jeremiah 39:4; Nehemiah 3:15) and the area seems to also be referred to in Zechariah 14:10, which mentions "the royal winepresses".
[3] The road that traverses the garden is built over a thick wall that dates back to the Second Temple period.
The same wall is what created the dam-like structure that formed the ancient Pool of Siloam, known in Arabic as Birket al-Ḥamrah.
