Siloam, Tower in
[Silo’am]
Nothing is known of the falling of this tower except what the scripture states in Luk 13:4. The village of Siloam is on the east slope of the Kidron valley, curiously formed as if ancient tombs had been appropriated, so that the houses appear to be clinging to the sides of the hill; it is not, however, known whether the tower was in any way connected with this village.

Siloam, Tower, in
Siloam, Tower, in. Luk 13:4. Of this, we know nothing definitely, beyond these words of the Lord. In connection with Ophel, there is mention made of “a tower that lieth out,” Neh 3:26, and there is no unlikelihood in connecting this projecting towe, r with the tower in Siloam, while one may be almost excused for the conjecture that its projection was the cause of its ultimate fall.
