Summary[edit]
| Description |
עברית: פיר וורן מציין את מערכת המים הקדומה שנחשפה על ידי החוקר הבריטי צ'ארלס וורן במחצית השניה של המאה ה19. מערכת זאת נבנתה בתקופה הכנענית והורחבה בתקופת מלכות יהודה. המערכת מקשרת בין תחום העיר היבוסית הקדומה אל מעיין הגיחון הנובע למרגלות התל הקדום, באמצעותה ניתן היה להגיע אל מקורות המים של העיר גם בשעת מצור. נהוג לזהות את המערכת עם הנקודה אשר דרכה פרצו חיילי דוד המלך בראשות יואב בן צרויה אל תחום העיר הנצורה וכבשו אותה מידי היבוסים. אתר עיר דוד נמצא בתחום הגן הלאומי סביב חומות ירושלים.

It runs from within the old city to a spot near the Gihon Spring, and after its 19th-century discovery was thought to have been the centrepiece of the city's early water supply system, since it would have enabled the city's occupants to safely reach fresh water in times of siege.
The narrow and tall shaft was demonstrated to be traversable when a member of Warren's excavation climbed from top to base. Since in the Books of Samuel, it states that David conquered Jerusalem from its prior inhabitants due to Joab sneaking up a similar water shaft and launching a surprise attack on the city from inside,
