Siloam, Tower of       mentioned only Luke 13:4. The place here spoken of is the       village now called Silwan, or Kefr Silwan, on the east of the       valley of Kidron, and to the north-east of the pool. It stands       on the west slope of the Mount of Olives.                As illustrative of the movement of small bands of Canaanites       from place to place, and the intermingling of Canaanites and       Israelites even in small towns in earlier times, M.C. Ganneau       records the following curious fact: "Among the inhabitants of       the village (of Siloam) there are a hundred or so domiciled for       the most part in the lower quarter, and forming a group apart       from the rest, called Dhiabrye, i.e., men of Dhiban. It appears       that at some remote period a colony from the capital of king       Mesha (Dibon-Moab) crossed the Jordan and fixed itself at the       gates of Jerusalem at Silwan. The memory of this migration is       still preserved; and I am assured by the people themselves that       many of their number are installed in other villages round       Jerusalem" (quoted by Henderson, Palestine).
