by the gate of the valley] So called, because it led to the valley of Jehoshaphat. It was next the dung-gate on the left-hand, v. 15. chap. 3. 13. 2 Chron. 26. 9.
dragon-well] A well so called between the valley gate, and the dung-gate, but neerer to the former.
to the dung-port] Either because the rain carried the dirt thorow it to Kidron, or because men carried their dung that way to some common lay-stall, chap. 3. 13. and 12. 3.
