Pool of Shelah

Archimandrite Nikifor’s Biblical Encyclopedia

(outflow of water) (Neh. 3:15)—a reservoir in Jerusalem opposite the king’s garden and therefore near the spring of Siloam. The source reports a large ancient reservoir near the spring, covered with soil, trees, and grass, and identifies it tentatively with Nehemiah’s pool. The royal gardens lay nearby to the east.

Scripture cited
