II NEPHI 9:44 [18:6]: Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
Commentary: This verse references the places of Israel, Jerusalem, Syria, and the waters of Shiloah. This verse also occurs in Isaiah 8:6. The term 'this people' refers to the people of Jerusalem. Rezin is the king of Syria. Remaliah's son is the king of Israel. People must be present in order to refuse something, so the phrase 'this people refuseth' indicates the waters of Shiloah are located in Jerusalem.
