Shallecheth
Shallecheth
[some Shalle’cheth] (Heb. Shalle’keth, , overthrow; Sept. ), the name of a gate on the west of Solomon’s temple, which fell to the lot of the porters Shuppim and Hosah (1 Chronicles probably was that called Kipponos (Coponius) in the Talmud (Middoth, 1, 3). It is probably also identical with the gate Sur (2Ki 11:6) or that of the Foundation (2Ch 23:5). If, however, the causeway be the same as that by which the water is now conveyed to the Haram, the gate in question may have been at the present Bab Silsileh, much farther north. SEE TEMPLE.

Shallecheth
[Shallecheth’]
A gate ‘by the causeway of the going up.’ 1Ch 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. 1Ki 10:5. Such a causeway can still be traced, but it is hidden, under the houses built in the valley.

Shallecheth
Shal’lecheth. (overthrow). The gate Shallecheth. One of the gates of the “house of Jehovah.” 1Ch 26:16. It was the gate. “to the causeway of the ascent.” As the causeway is actually in existence, the gate Shallecheth can hardly fail to be identical with the Bab Silsileh or Sinsleh which enters the west wall of the Haram, about 600 feet from the southwest corner of the Haram wall.
