hill; mound, the long, narrow, rounded promontory
on the southern slope of the
temple hill, between the Tyropoeon and the
Kedron valley (
2 Chr. 27:3; 33:14;
Neh. 3:26, 27). It was surrounded by a separate
wall, and was occupied by the
Nethinim after the
Captivity. This wall has been discovered by the engineers of the
Palestine Exploration Fund at the south-eastern angle of the temple area. It is 4 feet below the present surface. In
2 Kings 5:24 this word is translated "tower" (R.V., "hill"), denoting probably some eminence near Elisha's
house.
I may not see in front of me, But I can see for miles around when I look over my shoulder, and Lord, it`s clear. You`ve brought me here, So faithful every step of the way. What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.
