The Definition of the word Conduit

Conduit

A water-course or channel (Job 38:25). The conduit of the upper" "pool" (Isa. 7:3) was formed by Hezekiah for the purpose of" conveying the waters from the upper pool in the valley of Gihon to the west side of the city of David (2 Kings 18:17; 20:20; 2 "Chr. 32:30). In carrying out this work he stopped "the waters of" "the fountains which were without the city" i.e., "the upper" "water-course of Gihon", and conveyed it down from the west" "through a canal into the city, so that in case of a siege the" "inhabitants of the city might have a supply of water, which" would thus be withdrawn from the enemy. (See [123]SILOAM.) "There are also the remains of a conduit which conducted water "from the so-called "Pools of Solomon," beyond Bethlehem, into" the city. Water is still conveyed into the city from the fountains which supplied these pools by a channel which crosses the valley of Hinnom.
