Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 22:11

11 Ye made also a Ditch between the two walls , for the water of the old pool : but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof , neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago .

Either those 2 Kings 25. 4. or those 2 Chron. 32. 5. in both which Places we read of two Walls.

To receive the Waters conveyed into it by Pipes from the old Pool.

Either, 1. of the Water; for both the Springs and the Rain which filleth the Pools are from God alone: or, 2. of Ierusalem, expressed in the foregoing Verse, and easily understood here, because all these Works were undertaken for Ierusalems Defence and Provision. And it is usual in Scripture for the Pronoun Relative to be put by it self, without any express mention of the Person or Thing to which it belongs, which is left to the Reader to gather out of the foregoing or following Words; of which see the Notes on Psal. 87. 1. Cant. 1. 1.

Heb. the former, or framer of it, God, who made it a City, and the Place of his special Presence and Worship; which also he had undertaken to protect, if the People would observe his Commands; to whom therefore they should have resorted and trusted in this time of their distress.

Which Clause may be added to aggravate their Sin, in distrusting that God who had now for a long time given proof of his Care and Kindness in desending this City.
