Barnes's 2-samuel 2:13 Bible Commentary

On the east of the hill (El-jib, the ancient Gibeon) is a copious spring, which issues in a cave excavated in the limestone rock, so as to form a large reservoir. In the trees further down are the remains of a pool or tank of considerable size (120 feet by 110 feet). This is doubtless "the pool of Gibeon."

Sat down - i. e. halted and encamped.

Wesley's 2-samuel 2:13 Bible Commentary

2:13 Met - That is, met the opposite army, and put themselves in a posture for battle.
