Commentary on 1 Chronicles 26:16

Theological / Devotional

The gate Shallecheth. Probably meaning “the gate of casting forth,” that is, the “refuse gate.” It has been thought to be the gate through which Temple sweepings were taken out (see Neh. 3:13).

Causeway of the going up. Probably the road going up from the Tyropoeon Valley to the western gate of the Temple.
