Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 22:9

_ _ Ye have seen — rather, “Ye shall see.”

_ _ city of David — the upper city, on Zion, the south side of Jerusalem (2 Samuel 5:7, 2 Samuel 5:9; 1 Kings 8:1); surrounded by a wall of its own; but even in it there shall be “breaches.” Hezekiah’s preparations for defense accord with this (2 Chronicles 32:5).

_ _ ye gathered — rather, “ye shall gather.”

_ _ lower pool — (See on Isaiah 22:11). Ye shall bring together into the city by subterranean passages cut in the rock of Zion, the fountain from which the lower pool (only mentioned here) is supplied. See on Isaiah 7:3; 2 Kings 20:20; 2 Chronicles 32:3-5, represent Hezekiah as having stopped the fountains to prevent the Assyrians getting water. But this is consistent with the passage here. The superfluous waters of the lower pool usually flowed into Hinnom valley, and so through that of Jehoshaphat to the brook Kedron. Hezekiah built a wall round it, stopped the outflowing of its waters to debar the foe from the use of them, and turned them into the city.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 22:8-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 22:9

Seen — That is, observed in order to the reparation of them. The waters — That you might both deprive the enemy of water, and supply the city with it.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 22:9

Ye have seen also (l) the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

(l) You forfeited the ruinous places which were neglected in times of peace: meaning, the whole City, and the City of David, which was within the compass of the other.
