What is the meaning of "va'Tekabetzu Es Mei ha'Rechev"?

1.

Targum Yonasan: You gathered the nation to the water of the lower pond. Rashi - it is near the cracks in the wall of Ir David. You gathered them for war, for you saw the weak spot of Yerushalayim there; it is easy to conquer from there.

2.

Radak, Malbim: The pond water was scattering to leave; you gathered it inside, so the water will be prepared to make mortar to seal the breaches. Brechah is a cavity built in rocks to gather rainwater.
