2:13 Jackal’s Well might have been En-rogel, a water source located about 400 yards [365 meters] south of the city, or the pool of Siloam, which is filled by water flowing through Hezekiah’s meandering, serpentine tunnel. • The Dung Gate (called the “Gate of Broken Pots” in Jer 19:2) at the southern end of the western wall (see Neh 3:13) led to the Hinnom Valley, where inhabitants of the city threw their garbage.
