| <p> גּן־המּלך , <i> ''''' gan ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' ha ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' melekh ''''' </i> ): In Nehemiah 3:15 , mention is made of "the pool of [[Shelah]] by the king's garden"; in 2 Kings 25:4; Jeremiah 52:7 , "All the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden"; see also Jeremiah 39:4 . The "king's winepresses" ( Zechariah 14:10 ), which must have been to the extreme South of the city, were clearly in this neighborhood. The references all point to the one situation in [[Jerusalem]] where it is possible for gardens to flourish all the year round, namely, the part of the [[Kidron]] valley below the Tyropoeon which is watered by the overflow from the Pool of [[Siloam]] (see [[Siloam]] ). Here the vegetable gardens of the peasants of Siloam present an aspect of green freshness unknown elsewhere in Jerusalem. </p>
