Walking back towards our hotel we stopped at an outdoor café and split a large Coke. I was exhausted but Bill was feeling very adventurous. We had seen signs for a cave and I could tell he really wanted to go explore it so I sat under the shaded umbrella at the café for the next hour and half while he walked to the cave and went on the tour.
Zadekiah's Cave was a small natural cave until the Second Temple Period when it was enlarged into a huge subterranean stone quarry extending under the houses of the Old City.
This quarry supplied the stone for many magnificent buildings in Jerusalem. According to common belief, it was used to construct the First Temple. Hence, the nickname, "King Solomon's Quarries"
The rock ceiling above the cave has many cracks and carved openings through which water drips into a small pool known as "Zedekiah's tears".
The legend tells that the source of the water it the tears King Zedekiah shed when captured by the Chaldeans after the destruction of the First Temple.
