 The "valley of vision" Isa 22:1 is usually regarded as denoting
 Jerusalem, which "may be so called," says Barnes (Com. on Isa.),
 "either
  1. because there were several valleys within the city and adjacent
     to it, as the vale between Mount Zion and Moriah, the vale
     between Mount Moriah and Mount Ophel, between these and Mount
     Bezetha, and the valley of Jehoshaphat, the valley of the brook
     Kidron, etc., without the walls of the city; or
  2. more probably it was called the valley in reference to its being
     compassed with hills rising to a considerable elevation above
     the city" Ps 125:2 comp. also Jer 21:13 where Jerusalem is
     called a "valley".
