Scripture: 2 Kings 20:20; 2 Chronicles 32:30
Hezekiah, king of Judah, brings water into Jerusalem through a conduit, preparing for an Assyrian siege.
A tunnel about 530 m long carries water from the Gihon Spring to the Pool of Siloam. A Hebrew inscription found inside in 1880 describes two crews tunnelling toward each other and meeting. It is now in the Istanbul Archaeology Museums. Radiometric dating published in Nature in 2003 placed the tunnel around 700 BCE.
