Shallecheth
Morrish Bible Dictionary
A gate 'by the causeway of the going up.' 1 Chronicles 26:16 . The 'going up' doubtless alluded to a pathway that ascended from the lower part of the city to some entrance of the temple: cf. 1 Kings 10:5 . Such a causeway can still be traced, but it is hidden, under the houses built in the valley.
