13So I went out by night through the Valley Gate, toward the Dragon Spring and toward the Dung Gate, and I inspected the walls of Jerusalem that had been broken down and its gates that had been consumed by fire.

14Then I went on to the Fountain Gate and to the King’s Pool, but there was no place for the animal under me to pass.
