Shallecheth. [Shallecheth']


A gate 'by the causeway of the going up.' 1 Chr. 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.
