	No. 664: Gihon Spring
		Three hundred years later, in 701 BC, King Hezekiah cut a tunnel down to the Spring.
		This article shows a compressed cross section through the straightened length of the tunnel and, according to the scale shown, the average height of the tunnel is about two meters, with a maximum of about five meters near the Siloam pool end.
		Hezekiah, after all, worked under the stress of a siege.

	jer10.htm
		King Hezekiah built the tunnel in preparation for the Assyrian siege: "This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David." (Chronicles II, 32;30) The external entrance to the Gihon spring was hidden: "...
		Then the waters of the Gihon were channeled through the tunnel to the Shiloah Pool, also built by Hezekiah (Kings II, 20; 20).
		It channels the water from the Gihon fountainhead to the Shiloah pool, which was within the new walls of the city built by Hezekiah.

	Hezekiah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hezekiah anticipated the Assyrian invasion, and made at least one major preparation: in an impressive engineering feat, a tunnel 533 meters long was dug in order to provide Jerusalem underground access to the waters of the Spring of Gihon, which lay outside the city.
		This attempts to harmonize the reference to Hezekiah reigning during the conquest of Samaria (2 Kings 18:9-10), and assumes the reference to Sennacherib's attack in 701 was either a second campaign or that the reference to it being in Hezekiah's 14th year is a corruption.
		Hezekiah (Hebrew: חזקיה orחזקיהו, "whom God has strengthened") was king of Judah, the son of Ahaz and Abi (2 Kings 18:1-2) or Abijah (2 Chronicles 29:1).

	Siloam Inscription & Hezekiah's Tunnel
		The Gihon Spring, which was outside the city, confronted King Hezekiah with a double dilemma: to ensure water for the besieged city, yet to deny the source of the water to the Assyrian forces.
		The waters of the Gihon were diverted into the Gai wadi by means of a tunnel 533 meters (581 yards) long, which was hewed from both ends simultaneously, probably along the course of a natural cleft in the rock.
		The Bible describes Hezekiah's solution: "It was Hezekiah who stopped up the spring of water of Upper Gihon, leading it downward west of the City of David "(2 Chronicles 32:30).

		The son and successor of Sargon, Sennacherib is known to Bible History from when his massive army of about 200,000 men came against King Hezekiah of Judah (see Kings of Israel and Judah and Hezekiah's Tunnel), and made the incredibly foolish mistake of arrogantly challenging and blaspheming God.
