Thanks for posting these Ron. King Hezekiah is such an interesting character and period in Israel's history.
I've walked Hezekiah's tunnel from the Gihon Spring to the Pool of Siloam. It was an amazing and kind of spooky experience (still has waist deep water in it on average, and you need to bring your own flashlight).
Surprisingly, it isn't straight. The tunnelers had to make several "course corrections." Our Christian guide likened it to the spiritual journey -- tunneling through rock from our baptism (the Gihon Spring) to the healing pool. Because it's dark, narrow, and wet, you can feel a bit claustrophobic and anxious. in the tunnel. Those feelings prepare you for the sense of elation and joy when you begin to see the literal and proverbial "light at the end of the tunnel."
