'And he, Hezekiah, stopped up the source of the waters of the upper Gihon, and he led them straight down on the west to the City of David' (2 Chronicles 32:30)
As testimony to Jerusalem's rich and ancient Jewish history, a Biblical-era royal seal belonging to King Hezekiah, son of Ahaz, was found in Jerusalem's Old City.
