Way of the king’s garden… the way of the plain In Nehemiah 3:15, occurs this expression: “The wall of the pool of Siloah by the king’s garden.” The two walls were that of Ophel on the east, and that of Zion on the west. The gate was probably in the short wall uniting these and stretching across the valley of the Tyropoeon. It was not, as some have suggested, “the gate of the fountain,” but the same that is called the “horse gate” in Nehemiah 3:28. The “way of the plain” is more distinctly indicated in the following verse the plain of Jericho.
