David's Jerusalem cont'd:
Warren's shaft was another crucial discovery, but some wonder whether or not it was constructed or even used. It could have been a natural water spring; however, the second book of Samuel and second Chronicles both reference a water shaft. In second Samuel, David was the first to climb through, and in second Chronicles, Joab went through first.
1 Kings 1 describes the Anointing of Solomon, which occurred on a mule near the Gihon Spring, and there exists additional references to this idea, in both the books of Zechariah and Matthew. Also, the Ark of the Covenant was another important topic for this lecture. The ark was built of wood and overlayed with gold, and after carrying it around from place to place, they decided that its permanent home would be a grand temple in Jerusalem.
