Hezekiah’s Water Tunnel

Workmen in ancient Jerusalem labor beside a spring outside the fortified walls, setting stones and shaping a hidden waterway while builders crowd the ramparts in the distance. The scene portrays the preparations connected with King Hezekiah, who strengthened Jerusalem and secured its water supply when the Assyrian threat approached. By stopping the outward flow of the spring and directing water into the city, Hezekiah acted with practical wisdom while trusting the Lord to defend Judah. The fortified walls, busy laborers, and spring-side masonry emphasize watchfulness, stewardship, and covenant survival in a time of siege. This subject is well suited for Bible teaching on Hezekiah’s reforms, Jerusalem’s defenses, the Gihon Spring, and God’s preservation of His people through faithful leadership. by Review & Herald Publishing
