The brook Cedron] RV 'Kidron,' a deep, precipitous ravine to the E. of Jerusalem, dividing it from the Mount of Olives, and now called the Valley of Jehoshaphat. Both Jews and Moslems hold that the Last Judgment will take place there (see Joel 3:2; Joel 3:12). It is mentioned several times in the OT. (2 Samuel 15:23; 1 Kings 2:37; Jeremiah 31:40, etc.), but in the NT. only here. 'Brook' should be 'valley' or 'ravine,' lit. 'winter-torrent' (RM). A garden] i.e. Gethsemane: see on Matthew 26:36.
