When we last left off, we discussed the Gihon Spring, the City of David’s only water source. This spring flowed out of a cave on the city’s east side, above the Kidron Valley. Over time, the people living there worked hard to protect this spring. They needed to keep their water safe from enemies and […]

“The king and his men went to Yerushalayim to attack the Y’vusi, the inhabitants of that region. They taunted David, ‘You won’t get in here!

But when they come […]
